kind of what XAML for Longhorn is supposed to be. Doing it this way
means your scripting engine can pass-thru into Cocoa wrappers on the
Mac side, and on Windows you just need to reimplement the end actions
of the scripting engine, either natively or like how iTunes did it
(some sort of custom UI widget layer).
wxWindows is good for this.

My theory: the entire window server and framebuffer is wrapped up in the
application. Re-sizing the iTunes window increases and decreases memory
usage.
It would be nice if there was a Cocoa For Windows. It would also be nice
if it was Windows-y. I love the Mac and all, but jsut has Mac users
expect a Mac-type application GUI, Windows folks expect a Windows-type
application GUI.
While Apple is porting their toolkit to other platforms, a Linux version
would rock.
QT? How about Cocoa? I would love it.
