QT doesn't feel great anywhere either (except Linux, and there only because the UI standards are "whatever goes").

At least it's fast.

Whats wrong with QT on other platforms? If it is about the looks, it looked pretty good on Windows as far as i remember, as for speed, it is mostly down to the developer not the language.

The problem is the "pretty good" uncanny valley.

I wouldn't write something in QT nowadays, mostly for shallow reasons.. it just feels silly to have that bubbly interface running on anything past Win XP.

What "bubbly interface"? The Qt apps I'm aware of on my Win10 system look just as flat as everything native.

EDIT: found one that doesn't, but it clearly loads some weird custom stylesheets, since it doesn't look like anything else.
