People use these cross-platform GUI libraries to make development faster, and I don't think this is such a bad thing. The reason apps written using these libraries tend not to catch on on the Mac, is that they aren't Mac-like. That said, they do tend to catch on on Linux and Windows.
I am willing to bet this is due to the fact that the Windows and Linux GUI shells are nearly identical.
Question:
Why arent't there* any cross-platform GUI libraries that attempt to bring a Mac-like interface to other platforms?
