I just wanted to comment on the wxWidgest-under-OSX part. I works
pretty well, but of course there are some bugs in wxWidgets that
plague only a particular plattform. And since OSX seems to be one
of the lesser used one, there appear to be more bugs of this kind.

But if you grep through the pgAdmin3 sources, you'll find only
little OSX-specific code.

One nice thing about wxWidgets is that applications that use if
feel like native applications on the platforms that wxWidgets
supports. Java-GUIs often feel rather alien, at least IMHO.
