Java works fine for cross-platform desktop GUIs, as does Qt and a handful of other C++ libraries.

Qt's license is a non-starter for a LOT of commercial entities.

And Java is fine, for varying definitions of "fine". I have yet to see any Java application that looks good, aside from a couple IDEs, and none that look good across platforms.

Usually because the devs didn't bothered to read books like Filthy Rich Clients, or actually spend money having a designer on the team.
