I’ll believe the story that these will be any good when Catalyst apps will start behaving like native apps. If developers can’t bother making a native experience with frameworks that are meant to do this, I don’t think they will with an even simpler paradigm.

My canary in the coal mine: Apple’s own SF Symbols.

> start behaving like native apps

intuitively, it would seem apples answer is to make mac apps behave/look like ipad/catalyst appe (e.g big sur's uo redesign)

This has nothing to do with Catalyst. Apple Silicon macs will natively run the exact same binary as the iOS version, no Catalyst needed.

No. But a native iOS version will be even less (aka not at all) optimised for macOS than a catalyst app. My point is that devs using catalyst don’t respect any of the macOS idiosyncrasies so why would they when they write iOS apps?

An Electron app would still be better than a iOS version optimised for a big thumb.
