Oh please, what one can do with their tools depends entirely on their skill.

I believe IntelliJ is written in Swing. They have managed to create on of the nicest GUIs and fastest Java apps I have seen yet on Windows and Mac (yes, I have tested the product on both). I also agree with other comments here, the fact that IntelliJ (Swing) looks almost the same on both platforms is a big plus for me (as I have to switch between Mac and PC every day.

So I am happy that you find SWT great and thanks for pointing it out to us, but to lobby for Apple to adopt it over Swing is a bit ridiculous. Lobby for support for both Swing and SWT and then we can take you seriously.

Swing IS the GUI Framework of choice.
SWT is Windows favored, anti-Java, ant-crossplatform
Windows? Do you want to use Cocoa or Swing? With SWT, on mac, you use Cocoa! A real open panel for example. With SWT, you use, when they exist, a native widget for your platform, not the awful Swing one! User want to use their OS (OS X, Windows, Linux), not the common denominator of all OS, that is Swing
