"Are you suggesting that Firefox and Eclipse are lacking in some way because they are built for multiple platforms and would be much better if they were written for a single platform..."
Firefox and Eclipse would be worlds better if they were written for a single platform. I'd go so far as to suggest that the only gain in writing cross-platform software is that it runs on more than one platform. Everything else suffers -- or at least is limited to a common denominator. "Common" being the operative word.
