IMO, UI frameworks that try to mimic native components virtually always fail, because they end up being an almost-but-something-I-cant-put-my-finger-on-feels-wrong situation, e.g. performance isn't quite there or the physics is different.

Much better IMO to go for a "minimalistic", neutral interface where people won't always be comparing your app to better native controls.

That's why Google is trying to push Material as a default alternative to Cupertino widgets, perhaps.
