Abstraction layers for GUI are not inherently bad, but they also tend to blur platform specificities. This often results in apps that feel a little alien on every platform. So whether you should use them or not depends on your priorities.
I think a system where the common widgets, i.e. windows, buttons and similar, are abstracted but still lets you easily access the native API would be a good thing. This mean you would still need to be able to access the Objective-C and WinRT object model to be really useful.
