Thanks for the response from everybody. As far as the tooling goes, its state really makes no difference to me. I am perfectly fine with using the eclipse/whichever XML editor to code the ui. To be honest, this is also my preferred way e.g. when working with android apps. Many other developers share this opinion, I guess.
The important thing, which I was unable to determine, is what is the recommended "official" approach to coding eclipse 4 UIs. More to the point, are there plans to have XWT engine out of incubator and inside Eclipse 4? On a side note, Tom's pointers about XTend are very interesting. I will make sure to give this a try. However I don't believe this will catch on in the mainstream. People just do not have the time to learn a new language these days.
