[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Think about developers - not principles!

I tried it to use it on my Athlon-800 but it was only useable with SwtFox 
(quite well) whereas GTK2 was so lame that it was amlost unuseable 
(whereas Netbeans works quite fine on this box).

So except the native l&f I even do not see the reasons for all the work 
needed to create SWT. When it was created back in 1998-1999(?) it was a 
real plus and added a lot of value to eclipse but for now it seems like a 
crook IBM devs do not want to give up just to show everybody that their 
descision was right - and SUN WAS WRONG with swing.

I think its really sad that IBM makes live that hard for SWT application 
programmers just because  of principles ibm does not want to break.

so faa, hannes
