Just a little nit pick here. Just because it looks like a "real"
Mac application
does not mean that its actually using the carbon/cocoa widgets. In
fact, it
is my understanding (and I have used Qt on OS X) that the widgets are
drawn by Qt to resemble Aqua. Look closely at it and you will
notice slight
behavioral and appearance differences between native and Qt widgets.
Nothing of a show stopper that I've seen, but its not truly a native
toolkit.
This is not to say that Qt isn't an excellent option for cross platform
development. I've had good luck it, especially when combined with PyQt,
for rapid development of a GUI that needed to run on OS X and Solaris.
