"OS-native look and feel" - +1 on being overrated. In most cases, I use programs, sometimes with diverging methods for doing common things, but it's not a deal-breaker. If you are not familiar with how a complex piece of software works and you need to use it, you have a bigger problem than if the UI seems a little different than other applications on the platform or if a few keybindings are different than expected.
We work in the programs that we use primarily. Browsers are one such example. I wonder if they break OS UI guidelines; websites themselves certainly do. The only issue is if the look and feel is good enough on desktop applications. KDE makes things look consistent even with non-KDE/Qt programs, so I am happy enough.
