If every program runs on every platform, what's the point in having more than one platform?
Put another way - if you don't code to take advantage of the features and obey the human interface standards of a particular platform, your program will be inferior (on that platform) to one that does.
It seems to me that one can still create an application that would be considered cross-platform while at the same time utilizing the native features of any one OS. Does the fact that a program may have individual/unique parts of its code dedicated to specific platforms so that the program can take advantage of specific features of that platform subsequently render it not portable?
