Because gtk2hs exists and is availabe on all three platforms, everybody 
gets the benefit of a complete, professional interface right now, so 
everyone should accept it as standard and not mourn about the slight 
differences in UI appearnce :-)

I think existance is not a very good argument. I would like to define the
portable library with techniques of the Object I/O and let everyone who
has a backend (or is willing to write one) participate in its creation.

Basically this is what I proposed as a reply to Simon PJ.
