Certainly the default L&F is not native looking, nor are any of the popular community L&Fs. Though one can simply set the L&F to the native look and feel with essentially one line of code. The little care I'm referring to is around polish to get beyond the lowest-common-denominator. Regardless, system L&F with Swing is still worlds better than any Electron app, which is now a common technique to build cross platform apps.

Windows LnF hasn't looked native since WinXP and never felt native. Lots off things are off by few pixels, there are no animations or shadows, no context menus etc.

At least in Electron textboxes have standard context menu and drag and drop.
