It may be just me, but actually a virtue of "having a native look" is
one of the best selling points of a cross-platform UI toolkits.

Some developers appear to put much effort into "skinning" their apps
(old farts like me would remember how this plagued media players of the
nineties) completely fogretting about two points:
- Having a greatly-looking UI without the work of a trained designer
  and testing it on focus groups is futile, and the end result is almost
  always crappy (that is, to everyone except the obsessed creator).
- Most of the time users just do not give any special shi^Wcare about
  your program -- instead considering it just a piece in their toolbox,
  and quite often using it merely because it sucks less that its
  alternatives, not because they love it in any special way.
  And in this case, obviously, the principle of the least WTF for the
  users is paramount: all the apps in their toolbox should look and
  behave in the uniform way -- the way which is native to the user's
  platform.
