To start with my knowledge of Cocoa/Win32 UI toolkits is close to zero - I ever used Mac for less than 1/2 h total and last real experience with Windows was XP. 
So everything I say now is based on pure Google searches - for Windows there is XAML ([1], [2]) which from quick view looks sufficient. The issue there is that it would require SWT/WPF port revival and moving away of win32 unless I'm misreading things and this would be significant effort. For Cocoa - Mikael seems to be chasing something.
