Could you expand on this more? I don't know a lot about GUI programming, but I'd be interested in learning what the current failings are within the desktop space.
That's true for "Linux", but "Linux" on its own is not a desktop OS. If you target KDE then Qt is the ubiquitous standard with decent performance and a predictable look, same goes for GNOME with GTK. Both of them I would say are less "bloated" than win32 or cocoa at this point. And I don't have any comment on whether it's "ugly" or not :)
If you think that Qt is more bloated than Cocoa I don't know what to say. That objc runtime is so heavy and slow, good luck making it run on microcontrollers

Instead, developers rely on toolkits such as Qt or GTK to ensure compatibility, which are usually either bloated or ugly.
