>This makes sense in native-is as well as web based applications. The fact is, with as much variety as there is, there really isn't a canonical application profile that's consistent everywhere... so trying to make a nice looking app should be the first priority over making it look like {insert os here}.

Looks are nice, but it's about behavior too. One of the reasons I hate web apps and web apps in desktop wrappers is because their behavior is totally inconsistent with that of the OS (and often, of any OS). I really hate this because it greatly dilutes OS choice for all the wrong reasons.
