I mostly agree with you. But which toolkit for Windows is the "native" one? This is a well-known problem with Windows development, so I won't belabor it here. Hopefully Project Reunion improves the situation. But the murky state of native development on Windows is a big reason why developers just throw up their hands and go with something non-native that at least will work consistently all the way down to Windows 7 (or XP before that). Disclosure: I work for Microsoft, but on the Windows accessibility team, not on a UI framework or developer tools.
