Yes, but you still automatically get a lot of new behaviors/styles with your old application binaries. That's especially important for applications that are not as aggressively maintained as Chrome is. Also, you don't have to have generic UI libraries (or even bindings): a reasonable alternative might be the approach of applications like Transmission, which have a common core and several native UI frontends (Cocoa, GTK, Web, etc.). I hope I didn't sound too disagreeable :-) thank you for your feedback.
I think the best approach is to use a cross-platform toolkit that sits on top of native toolkit, like DWT. Use this for common widgets like buttons and windows, then add platform specific elements to enhance the look and feel. These addition can use the native toolkit directly.
