Here's how I view this, in case anyone cares (I'm sure they
don't, but anyway :). The appeal of things looking the same
across a multitude of platforms is only a gain for a very few
people, and the programmer. I'm honestly sick and tired of
hearing the sales pitch that "No matter what platform you're
on, the interface will look exactly the same". This makes no
sense for the user. Very few users ever need to use the same
application on multiple platforms. The loss of the native look
and feel isn't a huge deal for seasoned users, but it really
affects the usability of a program to the novice grandmother
who's just trying to get a little bit of work done.
User interfaces shouldn't be about how easy it is to port from
one platform to the next, and it shouldn't be about providing
the occasional NT/Unix/Network admin with the same interface
over all his/her platforms. Any experienced user will easily
pick up the "different" (but actually the same as the other
apps on that platform) look and feel of an application whether
it's on NT or Unix.
Regards,
Mike Wilson
Unix Systems Administrator
