I agree the look of apps should be user-configurable, but that

I fully agree with things which you said above...not liking this
mobile/web hype pushed to us at the moment.
Just, curious what would be your choise for multi-platform GU app: gtk,
qt or wx?
My ranking would be:
#1: wx: Because it uses native controls on pretty much all platforms.
#2: qt: Because for a non-native UI, it at least does a good job of
getting the look& feel right. And I've heard that the API is nice.

#84,259,254: gtk: Because it doesn't give a rat's ass about native
anything, plus it's just plain ugly (read: big-n-chunky) on all platforms,
even Gnome.
FWIW, SWT would probably be somewhere in the top 3, definitely above qt
(because I *think* SWT is true native...?), but not sure how I'd rank it
compared to wx b/c I'd have to actually try them both out.
SWT uses native widgets where available and emulates them otherwise.
