Or in some cases, they don’t even try to mimic native widgets. 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.
