An interesting discussion I came across today:

http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/08/why-is-it-so-hard-to-make-a-java-program-appear-native/

(and yes I realise OO doesn't use Java for it's UI, but the points raised apply 
to all cross-platform UI toolkits).

Question: To what extent is the OO UI frontend code separate from the backend 
editing, file format handling, and rendering code? I'm thinking in particular 
here of mobile - which demands a completely different approach to user 
experience design than desktop. Could OO conceivably be adapted to mobile by 
replacing its UI?
