Moreover it gives you cross-platform compatibility to Windows (and like it or not, Windows does matter on the desktop). I don't use many Java apps on the desktop. In fact, I used to *hate* java for desktop app because of Swing (mind you, I do Java for a living :)). And yeah, AWT is a joke nowadays for anything serious, so it's not even worth a mention. Eclipse changed all that for me. It showed me that a Java app can look and feel "native". It's nice. If I needed to do a desktop app and wanted to code it in Java, why pick anything else other than SWT for my toolkit? -- Dimi.
