Ugh, I hate normal cross-platform toolkits. Different platforms do different event, layout, rendering order, etc. etc. etc. You can't map closely back to native L&F without getting that stuff right. And if you get it right on one platform, you've chosen to get it wrong on all others.

Cross-platform toolkits have a certain 'uncanny valley' of their own in this respect: only instead of rendering quality, it's native widgets. If you don't do native widgets, you're not going to look right. I have yet to see a toolkit do its own widgets that look like the originals.
