    Actually, yes, it is. Mac users don't want an application to be too
    Windows-like, Windows users don't want an application to be too Mac-like
    (we'll see how the latest version of Photoshop goes over), and isolating
    all the differences in platform-specific modules while leaving the core
    functionality in common modules is a lot of work. If it were easy, it
    would be done more often.
