Yes, the check boxes are a bug in HipChat. That's part of my point: I have literally never seen a native OS X application that couldn't lay out checkboxes properly. Working in html/electron opens you up to making these UI bugs a lot more easily than native development.

That's the risk of customizing the UI in any cross platform toolkit. I'd rather have slightly wonky cross platform apps than native apps for a very limited subset of platforms.

I think transmission did the right thing: a single core shared across all platforms, tailored UI for different platforms. And yes, the existence of a web app makes it available absolutely everywhere, and the existence of fully native UIs make it a joy to use.
