If one did it right you wouldn't notice it. Its impossible to do it right on each platform supported by a toolkit (at least Unix/Linux kills you with the horrible mix of different WMs and Toolkits each with its own strange configuration system thats slightly different from anybody elses). But you can do it on some platforms you care for, usually its windows, OS X and one of the many Unix WMs. And your argument is rather weak, either you care to really match the look and feel of the platform, or you say 80% is enough and stop there. Basically you have choices to make where to distribute your work power, either you enable your program to work 80% in lots of environments and fix the most cruel usuability bugs when they get reported, or you go to support one platform 100% and drop nearly all the others. If you can do both, due to excessive amounts of money, volunteers or other things, your just lucky.
