_native_ clients, mind you. Their desktop client is built on top of (heavily patched) Qt and is relatively light on resources. That's pretty rare these days, unfortunately.

What is the point of going truly native on apps like chat?
They have a web version anyway and with Electron for desktop and webview for mobile, they can concentrate on the responsive single design instead of hiring different talents to communicate with each others left and right to slow down their development with inconsistencies.

On macOS you have the option of using a Cocoa client (same codebase as the iOS version) in addition to the Qt app. It’s great to have the choice.
