And VLC, and Clementine, and Doomsday, Mathematica, Skype, and Virtualbox...

Mathematica has a Mac-native frontend, and always has. They've used Qt for the Linux/Unix frontend since 6.0, not sure if they're using Qt for Windows or not.

All of which are absolutely terrible looking applications with broken platform UX on Mac OS X.

Most of which wouldn't even run on OSX if they weren't written in a cross-platform GUI that dramatically reduces development times.

I'm sure the VLC guys would like to spend their days dealing with complicated video codecs rather than the craziness of yet-another-goddamn-GUI-platform.
