Which do you use: Native controls or generic wx.lib.<controls>?

I'm reading "wxPython In Action" and learned about the difference
between native wxPython controls and their generic equivalents located
in wx.lib.<control> specific modules (re: Chapter 7: Basic Controls).

The advantage of the generic controls appears to be support for
additional events and methods. The drawback of the generic controls is
that don't appear to match the look-and-feel of native controls.

Does the wxPython roadmap have plans to upgrade the capabilities of the
native controls or the look-and-feel of the generic controls?

Which type of controls are you using in your wxPyton projects and why?

Thanks!

Which wxPython controls support (don't support?) tooltips and how do we
use tooltips?

Do wxPython tooltips support:
- custom icons ?
- custom background color/image ?
- multiple line text ?

Thank you!
