Personally, if I never have to work with swing again, I'll die
happy. It always struck me as overdesigned ... sort of the EJB of gui
development. Plus I never liked the look and feel of swing UI's anyway,
which is why I'm so glad eclipse is SWT based.
Yes, I know others may disagree; I'm not claiming swing is evil,
just that I don't like it :).
