I agree, Thomas. It is brilliant. Thanks for reminding everyone.

Hi all,

Since the last few months I'm evaluating different other programming
languages and GUI frameworks for them. To my surprise it looks like a
major part of them goes the Swing-way of rendering their controls
completely on their own ('immediate-mode'). But what I also found out is
what great piece of software the SWT library (and Swing) are. So far I
haven't found one other GUI library that is comparable mature,
well-designed, easy to use and works well on all 3 desktop platforms.

Thank you Thomas!
It is really nice to hear this appreciation of SWT! After years I end up seeing the long standing issues only and see the good things it has until I end up using something else.
Hopefully we manage to keep the high bar for loooong time!
