TBH I'd take QT app over any electron/web app... it still looks more consistent and matches the OS. Heck, even Java Swing (IDEA) looks better and feels more native than any electron crap.

IDEA is surely the ultimate gold-plated Swing app. I'm sure JetBrains have had to pour in a huge amount of time and money to get results that good.

Not sure... It's mostly due to used L&F. You have FlatLaf (inspired by IdeaUI). Swing is surprisingly solid platform (though it has it's quirks and sadly it's development virtually stopped years ago)
