Let me know it if you find one. Of all the cross-platform UI toolkits, only Qt is both stable and doesn't look like crap (sorry, WxWidgets)… and with Qt Quick it's also bundling Chrome, just binding it to C++ instead of NodeJS.

It's really hard to beat HTML in terms of flexibility.



Qt does look like crap on OSX unless you reskin all of the widgets like QtCreator does.


AFAIK Qt is still the least crap-looking cross-platform toolkit. GTK et al. are all even worse.


Even Qt Creator sticks out. OS X/macOS users (disclaimer: like me) are really, really nit-picking when it comes to minor UI inconsistencies.


Yes it does (I use it on OSX every day). But maybe it is because it has grown on me, but I find it less distracting that other Qt applications that try to look like OSX.


Qt > 5.5 looks good on OS X, although some interactions are slightly off.
