I use eclipse for many reasons, one of which is it's GUI and relative light weight (50-60 MB). The eclipse group wrote SWT because Swing stinks, everyone except Sun recognizes that (that should stir some people up ;-). SWT passes graphics calls straight to the OS so it's fast and you get native widgets, none of this fake stuff.

The swing implementation on the Mac is the only one that passes straight through to the OS like SWT.

Alan Williamson also makes a good case for Eclipse in the Oct. 2002 edition
of "Java Developer's Journal," p. 5. His article, and what people have said
on this list has made me interested enough to try it out. And it's
apparently built with SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit), not Swing.
