Reminds me of when Intuit was building out Quicken -- most of their versions were built using cross platform tools, but inside the code it became a big mess and most recently they decided to scrap the whole thing and re-write the mac client in native objective-c instead of c++
Sure you can build cross-platform stuff using Java or QT, but has anyone actually liked the stuff that came out from that?
Syntevo products (SmartSVN, SmartGit, SmartSynchronize) are actually bearable. I started using SmartSVN back when I used to use three platforms for desktop (Win, Linux, Mac) interchangeably and continued using it for subversion after moving to Mac.
Won't see myself using SmartGit though (we are moving to git). Will stick to command line with occasional launch of GitX or other native client.
