Interesting point. What widgets may I ask? I dont have any experience with GTK and QT and what not since they are mostly just Linux only and I have played around a bit with Swing...since I am a JEE developer full time. I thought Java 6 was released to address the shortcomings of the Swing framework.
And also I do agree that Java is too rigid at the moment but the good thing about it is that backward compatibility is there. I mean its not like .NET where if one piece of software runs on .NET 2.0 for example, chances are it wont run on 3.0 at least that is what my understanding is. With the Java ideology you can still technically run 1.4 or even 1.3 code with 1.6 and that is a huge boon for a lot of large web apps. That is a big reason why it is "closed, will not be fixed".
I am just curious about what widgets you want that are not present in Swing. Last I looked it looked like it had all that standard widgets in it.
