Actually, a Windows release is already in the works. It was supposed to be released in January but they ran into some delays. https://github.com/TablePlus/TablePlus/issues/9
You can find out about their tech stack in their FAQ: https://tableplus.io/faq

I'm happy with what I already have on Windows. I've never seen a better client than SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Data Tools and this tool doesn't look like it even comes close.
Honestly, I've never seen a native macOS app that I thought was any good though. That's why I typically just use them to compile my stuff for iOS. If I have to use some program on a Mac, I hope it's got a somewhat familiar interface and that's why I prefer Electron apps like VSCode on macOS.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but I do find it ludicrous, and I'm sure many other people will too.
Proper, well-implemented macOS apps are great – ones that properly use all of the system services and toolkits make it really, really nice to work with them.

Pfffft. Mac fanatics are in the vast minority.
And for those whining about "macOS-only" - take a look at Tower, a Git client that was initially macOS-only as well. They later released a dedicated, native Windows version, just like the developer of TablePlus wants to do, and it's awesome. True native experience will always win in my heart with cross-platform solutions and that's where I'm putting my money.
