2. Native look and feel. IMHO this is very overrated. I've never
found that a Java-ish or GTK-ish or whatever look and feel instead of a

effectively.
The win32 look and feel doesn't look native on linux/mac/solaris.
Right, the implication here was that I mostly use Windows and I've never really
cared if an application I use has a GTK-ish or Swing-ish or whatever look and
feel, as long as the application is well-coded, responsive and does what I need.
I'm speaking purely from personal opinion/experience here, but I don't
understand
why people care so much about platform-native look and feel as long as it works
and is usable.
I think native look and feel is a lot more important in, say, a web
browser or a word processor. I don't care so much about which GUI
toolkits Gnuplot or Mathematica use...
