Curiously I find Eclipse just plain ugly on Windows.
I guess it's all a matter of taste.
[I also don't see using the Mac as a Java development platform as you're
hostage to Apple's timeliness of Java update releases -- and Apple's
pathological secrecy about release dates.]

understand SWT uses native OS widgets, while Swing does not - and
that's exactly the difference. One can tell Swing apps are "alien".
