VSCode is close if you squint or don't know where to look for the evidence of Electron.

Its UI paradigm looks out of place on macOS–it very much looks like a website in an app wrapper.

For you, but not for most people I’d guess. Or most people don’t care enough and that’s why VSCode is hugely popular.

"Its UI paradigm looks out of place on macOS "- Which part?

Sorry, didn't see the reply. You want a web app as close to native? Look no further - https://www.nylas.com/download, source https://github.com/nylas/nylas-mail.

It's close, but not quite there. I don't see vibrancy or features from standard text controls.
