It might just be me, as I don't use a Mac, but there is something inherently beautiful in terms of design of Mac applications. Something simple yet elegant. I highly assume that it is driven bei the OS (or the company behind it). Sometimes, I wish that Windows applications would share the same design philosophy.

I think macOS core UI is better looking, that's the reality, and it has been for a very long time.

Just a random comparison: Paint.net and Pixelmator.

Without going too far into the details of their capabilities, why does Pixelmator look so much more pleasing?

If you built Pixelmator for Windows using a Windows-native look, it would just not look as good.

That’s one of my many reasons for sticking with Mac. I know the bar is higher and I just enjoy the consistency between first party and third party applications.

Well... career-wise I'm currently moving away from being a developer, so the incentive to use a Windows Desktop isn't there any longer. I might take a look at a Mac.
