I can't think of a Qt app that looked odd on macOS. I've developed quite a few pieces of software in Qt for the mac, and they all perfectly use the OS's styles and colors.
Is any of the software publically available? I will critique it.

I hate the slowness and bloat and entire ideology behind electron, BUT...electron apps do a pretty decent job of feeling native on the platform. Something I've never seen a Qt app do. Would love a counter-example, if you've got one. I'm on a mac.
What Electron applications feel native on any platform? I use Discord and it feels and looks like a web-page, not a Windows application.

I guess maybe I'm just so used to web stuff now that that codes as "native enough" to me?

I wouldn't know, dont have a mac. But VLC is my best guess at polished software that should look good on mac. If it doesnt... ;/

I don't think VLC is using Qt!

Yessss it is. The gui is written in Qt c++ and all the processing backend is C. https://github.com/videolan/vlc/tree/master/modules/gui/qt

(Which is pretty damning -- they already had a Qt implementation, but would rather do real native!)

> the reason VSCode is as good as it is now is because it's has had increasing parts of it being re-written in C or C++ Is that true? I've heard that said before but I've also heard that's not true. I haven't been able to find anything indicating any parts of it are written in C/C++ either. The GitHub repo for VScode doesn't have any C in it; infact it doesn't have much but JS/TS: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode
not always true, sometimes they use better data structures https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2018/03/23/text-buffer-r...

Only for nix -- for the Mac, it's using native widgets, if I'm not mistaken: https://github.com/videolan/vlc/tree/master/modules/gui/maco... (Which is pretty damning -- they already had a Qt implementation, but would rather do real native!)

Ouch. Mac for Qt is definitely the weakest point. Theres some experimental work being done to allow developers to wrap native Mac controls. http://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/02/06/native-look-feel/

This would help a lot, I think. Still a going concern, or a dormant experiment?
