I use intellij on Linux and macos.

It looks mostly ok, but on Linux it doesn’t support smooth scrolling (even though this is supported by gtk). You also can’t use the meta key (windows key / cmd) as a modifier key for keyboard shortcuts. So I can’t configure intellij to use all the keyboard bindings I’m used to from macos. Again, this isn’t a problem with other gtk apps. It’s just (apparently) a platform limitation of whatever Java toolkit they’re using.

So in my experience it’s 95% of the way there. I certainly prefer it over Xcode, but it has issues that native apps don’t have.
