> Those GUI apps look native on Windows, Linux and macOS

I don’t see how the author can write this with a straight face.

The apps look like what native apps looked like in 2003.

you make that sound more like a bug than the feature it truly is

Coincidentally the last time native apps were good.

They were never that good, I get annoyed every day I touch some annoying behavior in gitk/git gui.

The look is mostly acceptable though.

In 2003, Tk looked more like 1993.

That's just how native programs look on the platform.

Pretty sure tcl apps look ugly as sin... Python's tkinter is all tcl underneath.

Does it look nicer on Windows than on Linux?

		It does, it basically looks the same as every other program and opens the standard windows, like from Windows explorer. On Linux it kind looks weird.
