A non-native GUI toolkit should improve their standard / skinnable 
design instead of mimicking the native UI of each OS and spend a lot of 
time in catching up those changing native looks. Even Microsoft changes 
their native look as people get bored with it after a few years. A 
breath of fresh air is always welcome, no matter it's native or non-native.

The reason a non-native UI looks ugly is, when it is ugly on its own, 
without needing any comarision with a native UI.
