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.On Oct 21, 2010, at 6:06 PM, John Huss wrote: Had Apple actually maintained their version of Swing to keep it looking current, Swing would have been elegant. Instead they always looked antiquated. Now it will be even worse. So much for cross-platform application development outside the browser.
