Would WinAmp be better if it looked like the average VB application? (Arguably, MS MediaPlayer would.)
Bad example. Yes, Visual Studio has different languages, but ultimately it is all based on a common SDK. Non-standard SDKs on Windows (Qt, GTK+, tkinter) are second class citizens. People don't develop with those on Windows unless they have to. They also don't have much in common.
