Indeed, the biggest issue with using a mix of GUI frameworks is the inconsistent styling. But anybody who's used desktop Linux for long has either made peace with this, or endeavored to unify their styling. Either way, it's not a problem for the application developer to worry about.

And even MS apps have long invented their own UI -- Office has long brought its own particular controls. And the moment you install almost anything, any semblance of consistency goes out of the window. At least GTK and KDE are two common, polished styles. For a long time it was a fashion for every random app, including technical things like antiviruses to have some sort of goofy, customized UI toolkit with irregular shaped windows.
