Oddly you see non-native toolkits these days for many apps, and users don't seem as bothered anymore, unless I am mistaken?

For example, look at Windows 10 and the mishmash of controls (are they flat? or do they have a bevel?) available from the control panel, settings app, old COM dialogs, MMC etc. etc.

What choice do we have? Everyone's doing their own walled garden, so it's not like I can go and find an alternative SaaS / operating system with same features but better UI...


Linux has two options that offer a lot more consistency than you'll find on windows.

One of the last straws for me was the built in mail app that had this awful background image. Too many flashbacks of shitty access apps.
