Regarding Java I think that's more of a Jetbrains thing that IntelliJ feels good on every platform than Java per se. Contrast it with Netbeans for a more "pure" Java desktop experience.

I've been an JetBrains (IntelliJ and these days CLion) user since about 2004 and what I'd say is this was a hard fought and slow incremental advancement. Back in the 00s, IDEA's UI experience was really sub-par and its foreign nature on the platform was very very clear.

It's amazing the amount of work JetBrains has put into this.
