I have no experience with Mac but on Windows Qt-based interface looks as native application.
I suspect its because Qt reuse as much as possible of existing GUI libs there.

I should say that efforts needed to write native client is sometimes very high, so it's more
productive to just re-use cross-platform solution. Because it means more developers working on
universal thing rather than on platform-specific thing.
