The latest release of Eclipse (3.0-M8) now has custom look and feels. The default one is pretty random and doesn’t look like my Mac.
For some reason, many moons ago, I thought the reason for SWT’s existence was two-fold:
1) Look like the native platform using native components
2) Higher performance than Swing
On the Mac platform it now has neither. Swing both looks the same as the native platform and performs better than SWT. Will they please just give it up and switch to the standard controls? Can anyone explain why SWT still exists?

You must feel stupid now that they release 3.5 with a cocoa swt implementation right?
Not really. I still think SWT is the biggest abomination ever. BTW, you did read that this posting was from 2004, right? Took them more than 5 years.
