"A few months ago OSNews reported that the next version of Java (code name 'Mustang') will feature native GTK components for the Swing API. This got us excited since, quite frankly, Swing's GTK look and feel has always been quite dissapointing. We downloaded the latest release candidate of JDK 1.6 to see how well the Swing GTK look and feel looks, we were quite pleased with what we found."

Well, I was using it too before I start using uTorrent. It only gives you a hint that beyond java memory consumption issues, you can build a really snappy application with SWT that blends really good into the OS.
And for the "netbeans" guy, I'm giving it a try right now and it's really good (Matisse it's great, very close to VS.2005 Express) but not as snappy as Eclipse!

Before using uTorrent, I had Azarus (Java/SWT). The UI was responsive but it's a resource hog and take forever to start up.
