    Inside Story on SWT vs. Swing
    I've spent some time recently learning Swing. It has a steep learning curve. I've worked w/GUI toolkits before, and it's rather complicated compared to the others.

    I found an interesting email from Nov. 2002 about the history of Swing. Bottom line: when IBM was porting their Visual Age to Java, they found the Swing toolkit too buggy and difficult to use, so they developed SWT instead. I'm inclined to agree with them. Maybe it's time to learn SWT!
