Yeah. All of the RAD IDE's for Swing that I tried sucked miserabley -
JBuilder, VAJ, and Visual Cafe. Those untamed Swing layout managers were
always making your widgets behave like a bunch of mexican jumping beans.
So far, the only good RAD IDE's I've used have come from The Evil Empire.
And they have been very good. Easy to use, intuitive. They really enhance
your productivity.
The development of an excellent RAD IDE will determine SWT's success on the
desktop, in my opinion. If an exceptional - or at least usable - RAD IDE is
not developed for SWT, it will show IBM's / Sun's / et.al., lack of
comprehension of anything non 'enterprise'. Meaning the majority of modern
desktop software development will continue to be left in Microsoft's hands.
Nobody wants to see some VB programmer take their job away. So one must be
able to compete by having development software that is at least competitive.
