Realistically a good cross-platform GUI is far beyond the capabilities of the current Go team. Generics are not. It would be nice if cross-platform GUIs were easier to write, but they are not. The incentives are all wrong. Platform vendors want to make their platform look nicer and work better, and that inevitably means that it is harder to write a single application that looks good on every platform. The only people who benefit from cross-platform GUIs are developers producing applications for multiple platforms. All else being equal, the platform vendors would prefer that they write applications that only work on their platform. And any platform vendor with sufficient market share has the power to make decisions that move in that direction rather than toward better cross-platform GUI support.
