The typical problem with things that look native but aren't technically 
native is that there's almost inevitably things that don't work right. For 
instance, they may ignore the system color scheme, they may fail to work 
with tools that inspect/manipulate other app's controls, they may not behave 
correctly outside of the most common use-cases, they may ignore system-wide 
skin settings (such things do, and should, exist for Windows), and I've even 
seen ones that actually go and emulate the wrong system style (For instance, 
Chrome/Iron's dialog windows look like Aero...but I'm on XP, and if I were 
on Win7 I'd be using the Classic theme anyway. Very very sloppy).

If it turns out that Qt's self-drawn controls doesn't have any of those 
issues, then I agree there's no problem at all. I'd also be incredibly 
impressed.
