This is not the same approach.
Wxwidget is C++ which makes binding to other languages cumbersome. The same applies also to TK which is binded trough an embedded TCL interpreter.
Since version 8.5 Tk ships with themed widgets that by default try to look native on Windows and OS X by leveraging the respective platforms' native GUI toolkits for drawing.
Wx tries, but IMO fails to varying degrees to feel "right". WxGTK in Linux is okay-ish (everyone expects shitty UX from GTK programs anyway); WxMSW is an eye-sore. I haven't dared using Wx under OSX yet.
