    applications having the same look-n-feel on Mac OS or Windows,
    In what alternate reality? Windows, in particular, is completely schizo. You've got so many toolkits:

    Office XP toolkit. Note the lack of Luna-style buttons.
    The Visio toolkit. Note the freaky blue gradient toolbars.
    The .NET toolkit. Note the flat buttons and .NET combobox.
    Windows Media Player 10 theme.
    And here's Luna. Note the distinctive Luna-style buttons and tabbar.

    Now, this doesn't count any non-Microsoft apps! Yes, all this schizo-osity is from a single company! Throw iTunes in there, or ephpod, or musicmatch, or AOL (all common apps), and you get even more schizo-osity. Just having GTK+ and Qt is looking pretty good right now, isn't it?
