If you are going to say an 8 year old program is tired, then why mention 3ds Max? It has to be 20 years old by now.

Grandparent comment pointed out that there are no recent big Mac-specific AppKit/Cocoa-based blockbuster apps in a post-Electron world.

Parent mentions Sketch and a counter-example.

Mentioning 3dsMax was indeed inconsiderate of me, because it didn't add up to a discussion and subverted it instead. My bad.

Nah, like every fad it will join HTA in a couple of years.

Though lots of designers are migrating to Figma, which is web-based and works just fine on Windows. (I'm a designer and just moved to Figma after 4 years on Sketch and am definitely seeing lots of peers do the same)
