Using a cross platform toolkit often guarantees your app will look like
crap on every platform. For example, here's Audacity on my system:

It looks horrible compared to my Gnome apps. Especially the fonts.
I don't know, perhaps it's just me. I have yet to see an antialiased font
(atleast in Linux) that I liked. What you refer to as horrible is extremely
readable in my view... (a little big though)
Ofcourse this has nothing to do with cross platform toolkits, I'd agree that
many of them are poorly integrated with the underlying systems.
