I love this comment. One of the reasons I prefer using MacOS as my daily driver even though I have a lot of complaints.

Sadly, due to the ever-increasing number of non-Cocoa apps (primarily Electron ones), these features are getting the boot.



Indeed. Little things like Apple’s implementation of drag-and-drop being lost in this sea of ugly, slow Electron apps is something that you just can’t explain to Electron developers — they make for Windows first, they have no idea what Mac users complain about, and even when we tell them they think we’re being silly.

As per the comment to which I replied asked (although I believe GP asked in good faith): “why would you want to do that anyway?”

Because that’s how we do it on macOS. That could be why we use macOS. If you care so much about letting macOS users access your app that you went with Electron rather than writing something Windows-only, it shouldn’t be hard to learn to respect the Mac platform and, more importantly, its users.
