it's not as philosophical as it may sound. native means amongst other things give me the context menus every other app on the platform is using. firefox context menu on macos is a custom mish mash of what they think makes sense. just follow the os please.
I can get behind keeping context menus consistent since they’re like system-wide “escape hatches” for mouse-based UI. But what about buttons? Scroll regions? Resizing layouts? Forms?
Having each OS provide its own UI system seems antiquated to me. If you look at each system’s solution, they are all quite similar in implementation and differ greatly in their UI design. Let’s have some convergence in UI frameworks and have companies build their unique designs on top of some common ground.
