If Revery makes use of react-native-macos like ReactXP does, it does infact use Cocoa controls, unlike Flutter.

> Revery is like flutter in that it does not use native widgets. This means more work for us, but also that we have more predictable functionality cross-platform!

That's a bad thing.

Your apps are more predictable to developers between platforms, but less predictable to users.

A user expects all apps on their computer to behave the same. If you bring your own widgets, you violate that convention.
