The cross platform frameworks are most of the time a disappoint for at least one part of your users as it does a bad job at mimicking typical OS interactions.

By far the most common example I come across is text fields, which in most cross platform UI toolkits aren’t even half as functional as their Cocoa/AppKit counterparts. It’s incredibly frustrating for things like text navigation key shortcuts to work in the majority of your day to day apps, only to have the habits and muscle memory run into a brick wall when you need to use some cross platform app. Lowest common denominator UI is just… ugh.
