Cross-platform development GUIs, IMHO, can never offer true fidelity on any one 
platform. They will mostly achieve an inferior subset of functionality at best, 
and possibly only look good on the platform to which they have been biased from 
the start. This is especially true as the gap widens between advancing 
high-tech operating systems such as OS X and 
would-they-ever-give-up-and-go-home-with-their-junk operating systems such as 
Winblows.
