The readme says it is aiming for a “web look”, with no intention to make it look — and, presumably, behave — native. As a user, that’s not what I expect and hope for from a desktop application.

Following the author for some time and his main point is that “electron” won already, even despite the fact that the author himself doesn’t like it. And he’s not wrong. Majority of desktop users probably don’t care already if it’s native look or not (don’t cite me on that). The goal of the project to provide a way creating quite performant desktop apps with a DX of Clojure. And it’s a nice goal.

There's no native app, even on desktops. There are a bazillion of different UI frameworks with different look & feel on Windows alone, even within Microsoft products. On Linux or macOS, the situation is no better.

Native is what doesn't run in an emulator, in this case everything non-Electron fits the definition.

WinUI 3 aims to be native, but of course Windows is a tapestry of many eras of Microsoft UI styles. If Microsoft doesn't again change their mind on how Windows should look, then WinUI 3 is indeed the look and behaviour that people will be expecting on a Windows machine.
