No we do not use a special cross platform GUI. We use features of C++ to
put all the cross platfrom code in common base classes, then use child
classes to implement the platform specific code (Unix, windows, osx).
Consequently abiword is a native application on unix, windows and osx ith
all the advantages of native applications.
See:

It's very cool but not used very often in the software developmnt world.
