It's good. With some attention to detail you can make your views etc look like they belong on the Mac. (Just like anything else: you can make an interface that looks and behaves like crap in Interface Builder too).

And the multiple language support (C++, Python, Perl, Ruby I think) is nice too - one toolkit for whatever language you're working in at the time. And cross-platform too :)

Hope this helps,
