I thought wxWidgets was actually one of the only toolkits that actually *used* the native GUI libraries??? See e.g. http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxWidgets_Compared_To_Other_Toolkits So I don't understand how come the look and feel is different then...

The first difference is the spacing. In the wxHaskell version, the enclosing tab is glued to the window border left and right, while there is a considerable margin in the native version. The inner boxes have spacious margins, too.
The second is the capitalization in the native version. That gives it a totally different look! I even thought that they were using different fonts at first.
I didn't notice any of these except for the tab margin until you pointed it out. The tab margin left and right is the only thing I noticed. Taking a second look, I also notice the margin *below* the tab box.
Thirdly, the textlogs have different fonts. Again, the wxHaskell one
looks non-standard.
Honestly, I can't tell. They are both very similar, sans fonts. Also, the font could be explained by the fact that these screen shots are taken on different computers (different OS versions, different settings).
I just went to the wxWidgets website. On that site, the Mac OS screen shots show the buttons capitalized. In any case, I think these differences are minor. More importantly, I'm not sure that a different cross-platform toolkit would do a better job.
