Everyone involved with the wxWidget project agrees with you.
If you build for Motif it looks like Motif. If you build for windows it looks
like Windows. If you build for the Mac it looks like Mac. If you build for
GTK it looks like GTK. Same source is used for all. The native controls for
all platforms are used when they are available.
