Would love to see this adopt the document-based app API and the toolbar API.
This elitist and incorrect viewpoint has plagued macs for a very long time. I wish it would die.
"Full disclosure: it's built with Electron. I originally wrote it in Swift but couldn't get the editor experience to where I wanted it. Now it supports autocomplete, multi-cursor editing, and moving the cursor between cells just like you'd expect from JupyterLab or VS Code"
It's not a native Mac app, it's a standard electron app.
Meh. Most apps like this are built for the Mac because a lot of programmers use Macs. If anything, Apple makes it difficult to develop for macOS because they keep breaking APIs with each update.
People with Macs have money, and are willing to use it to pay for software.
Not that deep.

Here are some recent things that required code changes from developers:
- disabling user interaction when trying to request items from the keychain
- views no longer clipping to bounds by default
- installing login items and background services
The latter two were understandable, because they were caused by new features, but some are just caused by a lack of testing.
It's not a big deal, and I'm sure Electron apps have similar issues, but app developers do have to put in some work to make sure their apps keep working properly on macOS.
