Maybe on the first glance, but you usually discover very quickly that an
application is not native either because of the behaviour or because you
don't use a standard theme.
Don't get me wrong: native widget support and own drawn widgets are
simply something different. Some people want native widgets others don't
care. The same applies to vcl compatibility: some people want it others
don't care. Lazarus went probably the hard way (native controls and vcl
compatibility) because this is what the most users want but I think user
drawn controls would be a valuable contribution to lazarus especially
because you could create applications with very little external
dependencies.
