I have no opinion, good or bad, about SWT.
It's okay. It sucks differently depending upon OS, that's all.
Until Sun figured out how to build a UI, the fact that SWT mapped more
directly to the OS widgets meant that they worked faster. Of course,
you had to explicitly manage the memory for those widgets.
With Swing, the UI seems to be okay.
The main thing is that the "It's gotta look like Windows on Windows!"
crowd seems to have gone away. Now "Snazzy but violates any useful UI
convention on the planet" seems to be as endemic on Windows as it was on
Mac.
