Lots of Adobe software is written with non-native UI.  Not typically
described as amateur.  What they have is a 'look' that tends to be
somewhere between Mac and Windows, with some things possibly skinned
per-paltform, but most of it with just an in between Adobe look.

As long as it looks good, it doesn't need to be native.

Note also that people are now accustomed to web sites - each has its
own look and feel.
