What doesn't work as expected then?

The layout of windows is strange. For example, the borders take up too much space. The icons in the windows don't look like they typically look in other Mac apps. The riders that allow you to switch between different window contents don't look like what I have seen in other applications. The free-floating icon bar is strange, and especially the modal dialog boxes that seem to be connected to single windows are very untypical. There are probably also some minor details, but I am far from being an expert in GUI design, so I can only give you a vague report purely from a user's perspective, but not the details.


Overall, I don't think these deviations are serious, though. For platform-independent development, LispWorks seems to be a pretty decent choice (again, from a user's perspective).
