Lots of Adobe software is written with non-native UI. Not typically described as amateur. What they have is a 'look' that tends to be somewhere between Mac and Windows, with some things possibly skinned per-paltform, but most of it with just an in between Adobe look.
Funny, I had exactly these apps in mind when I wrote that comment. ;-) The look like the've been written in Flash!
Which ones? I mostly worked on the Digital Video and Audio Apps (Premiere, After Effects, etc). Of course parts of those UIs *were* written in Flash (but just small parts).
Sorry, been on holiday. One that comes to mind because I just used it is the installer that Adobe seem to use now. I'm not criticising Photoshop etc. They do a good job of trying to look native and I'm sure they have their reasons for not actually using native controls. However, generally it's hard to simulate it well. Alex -- Easy SFTP for Windows Explorer (http://www.swish-sftp.org)
