Java apps are not native on either macOS or Windows.


Nor Linux.

The only Java desktop app I've ever used (on any platform) without frustration was Slay the Spire, and it only passes because it's a game and doesn't require desktop integration of any kind.


I hear Minecraft is popular.

I use JDownloader sometimes, it's totally fine. Weka is bad, but not worse than other academic apps.


Slay the spire is built using libGDX which provides a lot of cross platform support on top of Java. For platforms like Switch without JVM support it probably ships a compiled version without JIT.


Matlab is a java app. I used it on both windows and linux without any complaints.
