No, it doesn't sound like that at all, no matter how much you keep
repeating that.
Cross-platform UI toolkits such as wxPython (which is what Dabo uses)
implement a standard set of widgets using the native OS API on each
platform. So a button in Dabo on Windows doesn't 'look' like a native
Windows button, it *is* a native Windows button.

And it has been done; many, many times, in fact. You've kept your
blinders on, and stuck to one platform for your career. Others, such
as Paul and I, have worked with several different platforms for our
careers. If I were a n00b looking for advice in this area, I'd tend to
listen to those who have actual experience in the field.
