Sublime Text comes to mind as an app that is native as well.

I evaluated Sublime for my editor, and found that it’s OS integration was too bad; for one it’s tabs is custom-based and it’s text fields aren’t Cocoa (or at least it doesn’t feel like one). It’s primarily built as a cross-platform, so it really doesn’t consider OS integrations IMO.
And, it was a huge amount of work to get the AppKit tabs to work in Chime, even though they are supplied by the framework. All the NSWindod tabbing stuff just wasn't built to be flexible for apps that need consistent UI across tabs, like our file navigator widget.
