The standard of quality is if you can build applications that behave as if they were native with a browser.

Considering stuff like Electron and co, that's not an unusual request.

Do people actually make web pages that try to look native to the OS they're loaded on? That is a lot of effort to reimplement GUI toolkits and I can't think of anything I've seen that does it.

I'd say the real way to look native in firefox involves XUL, even if it is getting removed.

Well, considering the web is replacing native toolkits more and more, there better be, eh?

Either you can build something looking native in the web languages, or Electron and co habe failed already.
