Qt is C++, cross-platform using native widgets on OS X and Win and (since
more recently) available without fee or license woes provided it is used for
GPL'ed code.  

So it satisfies both the requirement to make it look and feel native
whereever possible, and satisfies the preference for an OO paradigm for GUI
programming.

Would it be an alternative?  Is it worth a prototype app?
