Apparently for the web dev generation, writing modular native code across OSes is a lost art, attained by us old druids not worth listening to.

Yeah, and it's especially puzzling since they've given up one of the major hassles of going natively cross-platform anyway: having to support a native look and feel.

Which makes creating a similar (uniform looking across platforms) native UI lib even easier than catering to the intricacies of each platform.
