I tried QT on MacOSX and i must say i still don't like it. For MacOSX
there is nothing like a cross platform tool available. What you can do
is to create nib files that abstract layout, a few platform dependent
methods and then use them to develop code.

Maintaining three different full native GUI applications is much less work
then many people expect if you start coding from the beginning on
these platforms. I whished somebody had told me this before.
