That's what I did with the CompuTrainer software. Each dialog box took weeks to create, instead of a couple of hours to do a Windows box. Changes were incredibly time consuming - just making a simple checkbox means creaing graphics for the box and the checkmark, writing a program to find them in memory and display them next to some text on the screen in exactly the right place in every possible resolution.

You also lose hundreds of Windows functions which are taken for granted, like pull-down menus, alphabetization of lists, clicking on a link to take you to a web site, etc.
