Why not? Most developers seem to work on one platform anyway.

It’s time someone built a good macOS-native editor. There are already plenty of non-native solutions out there.

Platform exclusivity should be a thing of the past, especially as technology to make cross-platform apps has become so accessible. For me the app becomes practically useless as soon as it's only on one platform as I frequently switch between Linux and Windows.

The developers in my team work on a mix of MacOS, Linux, and Windows.

In the face of VSC, a MacOS-exclusive app simply does not compete.

They already had a similar app. They probably know something about the target market.

And for me any app that becomes cross-platform loses some appeal. I do not swtich paltform when writing some code, so all those compromises and trade-offs made in the name of being cross-platform are a loss to me, not some gain.
