Is Photoshop a native application? It sure doesn't act or feel like one on Windows. It seems to be just using an Adobe in-house cross-platform abstraction. Maybe you like that abstraction's output more than web platforms, but that's a different matter.

"Somewhere, deep down under the streets of Photoshop, down where the mole people live, is a little framework called "MacApp." It's a remnant from the very first versions, a fragment of foundation. MacApp originally let Photoshop communicate with the underlying operating system, which was then Mac OS 6.0.3."
