I would argue that a text editor really stretches the definition of user interface. The non-text-editor chrome I am NOT a fan of, but I understand it's truly hard to make a good "native" app. These are rarely cross platform.

My previous example "blender" only passes because the interface is so damn weird it doesn't make sense on any platform. But it's consistent and easy to program.

Well, the text editor has just about as much UI as this calculator thingy, actually I'd say more.. That's why it came to mind as a good comparison.

Ha I definitely agree with you on that.
