There are lots of products and projects out there offering widgets and visualizations - Syncfusion, Telerik, Steema, ComponentOne, DevExpress, Infragistics... These are just the ones listed at the bottom of the page on http://xamarin.com/forms
A true alternative GUI toolkit that allows you to design forms & applications and run them natively cross-platform, I believe, is what Xvm and Eto.Forms are about. Like what Windows Forms and WPF would be, if you could count on them being reliable and available cross-platform. And like what GTK would be, if given the same conditions - but unfortunately generally not safe to assume it's present or even conveniently installable.
