It depends on what you mean by a "true cross-platform" system. wxWIDGETS run on more platforms, so it is cross-platform and it is also accessible for more categories of users.
Other systems are bad not only because they are not accessible for everyone, but also because they don't use the underlying GUI of the operating system they are used on, so they have a different look and feel. Even the accessibility, the possibility of accessing the GUIs with a keyboard also means look and feel.

Which are those "most designs"? I've shown you that the most used GUIS are made to be accessible out of the box and all the GUIS should offer these facilities.
