I have to say that I'm very disappointed by this decision. I was very enthused 
that there was such a strong focus on "nativeness" in the past because, in my 
opinion, this "nativeness" is very important. I fear that the wxWindows 
approach won't give us applications that conform to the platform-specific 
conventions very well. Therefore, I'm interested in developments like 
HToolkit where there's a strong emphasis on styleguide conformance.
