Agreed. QT is by a very extreme margin the most competent I've seen. On an absolute scale, I'd still classify it as mostly incompetent. I still agree with the Mono team - your model and view model should be xplat, while your view should use platform-specific APIs.
Android users don't expect Android interfaces to work like iPhone interfaces and visa-versa. You can do all the skinning in the world but the underlying workflow of the interface won't match the platform.
That's a bit inflammatory, but in my opinion it's true. Qt, and SWT applications look... off... in many ways, they feel wrong, and often times it gets in the way (like not using a native file picker widget from the OS).
They can be made to work well on most platforms, but it takes a LOT of work.
