Maybe, although as proven multiple times, that has lots of issues with platform integration.

Shortcuts don't work, accessibility doesn't work, integration with OS workflows might not work, lags behind any OS updates, there is Look but no Feel.

Proven is a bit strong word. Shortcuts can work, accessibility can work etc. Integration with OS stuff depends on the API OS exposes. Only mimicking & integration lags behind and only after the updates that actually change platforms UX. There is nothing magic about the "feel" that can't be implemented. It is a lot more work to develop a quality framework like this though. On the plus side it can work on the platforms without desktop environment.
