Developers are users too. If users cared enough not to use cross-platform software because it didn’t look native, then it wouldn’t get built.

  Not caring that it feels bad and "wanting a similar experience" are two completely different things. Zero people crave a user experience being how it is because it's similar to the experience on another platform.

    > Zero people crave a user experience being how it is because it's similar to the experience on another platform. Count one here. The main thing for me is: does it solve my problem? Not: is it native/does it look unique, etc.

      "Does it solve my problem" is not "does it look like it looks for other people". And frankly, I think you would be pretty annoyed to try to use software that's designed to look and work like Windows 8's half-baked Metro UI if you're on Mac or Linux. What you said comes from a place of assuming it's a good baseline.
