wxWidgets isn't Qt-related.  wx wraps the Aqua widgets on MacOS, the
gtk widgets on Linux, and the Windows widgets on Windows.  So you're
actually using the real platform-specific widgets, and if you follow
the style guidelines you'll get pretty native-looking apps (including
things like the menubar showing up in the app on Linux/Windows but
using the main menubar on Mac).

Last I looked (3.1-ish), Qt didn't use the Aqua widgets but rather
tried to write their own widgets that looked (kinda) like the MacOS
widgets.  I hear that may have changed in more recent versions, but I
no longer have a Mac.  They did do the menubar correctly even at that
time, though.
