I've been fortunate enough recently to be in contact with Steve Northover. Despite him being very busy with SWT and the forthcoming release of Eclipse, I've managed to grab some of his time to answer some of my questions. To clarify from the outset, the views expressed by Steve are his own and not those of his employer.

>>>Um ... maybe you should write your apps by reading the specs first instead of *guessing* as to what they are
javadoc is huge for every class and many of these wierd little pecularities are mentioned in some small part of the text, if mentioned at all.
If I need to know how to use a class in .net, I can find help very fast and its well structured. Most of the time I dont even have to look up a new class, because everything behaves exactly how you would imagine it would behave. That is a sign of a GOOD design.
Thanks for the FormLayout info. I admit I dont have any experience with SWT. I read a tutorial after reading the interview, then I tried to create a visual SWT class with Eclipse (+ visual editor plugin) and it threw out some wierd error.
