True, but the most important thing is that those apps need to work and these 
days the portability of programs is also important for making them available 
to as many people as possible.

wxWIDGETS are portable and also pretty accessible for those who need to use 
screen readers which is not the case of purely native widgets as the Win32 
GUI standard controls or the libraries like Tk, GTK or QT.
