widgets

You should strive to always use the standard Cocoa widgets whenever possible. For my needs, I really needed a different UI (kids software running in a kiosk mode; i.e. large colorful buttons, no menus, etc.)


Having said that, I believe there are really two issues here when wanting your own UI.

First, there's the appearance of the widgets. Some folks simply want to skin things. For that, you again should just use the standard look-and-feel.

The second one is how the widgets actually work. It's often the case where the standard collection doesn't quite fit the bill. But, definitely file bug reports on what controls you need. Apple has, over time, added a decent amount of new widgets to Cocoa's palette.
