Qt app still looks like alien on OS X though but at least, it's less awkward.

  It's possible to build a cross-platform GUI app using Qt that looks pretty much at home on all platforms. Certainly requires a bit more work and customisation per-platform, but good Qt apps are almost indistinguishable from native ones.

    Honestly, I think it'd be better if they kept a non-native UI that was at least internally consistent rather than trying to replicate a Mac native UI badly. I use so many apps with bad Mac ports that look perfectly decent on Linux...

      The only decent look cross-platform app I found is Transmission (http://www.transmissionbt.com http://www.transmissionbt.com)

        That's because they build a native Mac GUI (same for certain other cross-platform apps, e.g. Handbrake).

    Do you have any examples of OS X apps written with Qt that are indistinguishable from great Cocoa apps? I'm considering using Qt for an OS X project and would love to see what it can do when used well.

  With some care, you can get very close to the native look and feel, to the point that the average user won't notice. It does require some work and familiarity with OSX UI idioms.
