Windows.Forms isn't native in OS X or Linux though. To get a native look,
you need to use the Cocoa and GTK C-sharp bindings, which means you're not
using Visual Studio. wx is actually a wrapper around the native components,
so it will look nice on every platform that supports it (well, except KDE
because of the Qt license issue).
