Unless you have a good reason, I urge you to never do that. Even ignoring accessibility (which is pretty much completely ruined in this situation no matter what), you'll need to reinvent every single primitive widget you need yourself and have it work the same as it does on all platforms. That's a shitload of code shipped to the user before you even write a single byte of code for your application!

  It's been done, multiple times. See qt, gtk, etc. Personally this revolution can't come soon enough.

    Didn't Firefox also used to be like this? They reinvented every UI widget, and as a result felt like garbage on Mac.
