A well-made UX in GTK or QT can look fairly native on Mac with little-to-no effort, and would let you also distribute it to Windows/Linux/Chromebook (the other 93% of the PC market, for those of you who aren't paying attention)

I love Mac apps, I like their silly use of euphemism and laissez-faire design language, but I will outright not integrate it into my lifestyle if I can't run it on my 5 other devices too. Getting work done comes first, and I'm sure as hell not going to boot up my QEMU container just to add a bullet point for my shopping list.

Oh, please, your reddit is leaking. Don't do it on HN.

I don't know, his comment was a pretty accurate representation of common responses of HN.

Though it's just the case of the loudest people voicing these complaints.

It doesn't represent everyone, but it certainly is prevalent and can be demoralizing hearing all the hate.

> Maybe I should take a break from HN

Wouldn't be a bad idea, since it seems to bother you that different people ask different questions, and none of your cases is related to my question. Unless you think "why are you intentionally limiting your market" is the same as the ones you've listed.

PS: I think your keyboard is broken.
