I thinks there's space for both. For some markets, a native look and feel is a must. In my opinion, this happens when: - the user may easily find a replacement for the software -- like a shareware text editor - the software does a secondary task for the user -- he/she does not have time to learn - the software is used for short periods of time -- he/she fires up it, use it and close it
For other markets, the users simply don't care about the look and feel. This happens when: - the software is mandatory -- like a company-wide accounting/management software - the user needs/wants to get the job done -- he/she will probably gets training on the software - the software is used all day long -- get customer's data, prepare invoices, check payments, etc Websites are in between: sometimes the browser use native widgets, sometimes it does not. -- Atenciosamente, Alexsander da Rosa Linux User #113925 "Extremismo na defesa da liberdade não é defeito.
