    SWT is starting to grow on me.
    
   
    
     There's a lot of activity on UI toolkits for C# on Linux.  There's GTK#, QT# and now a C# binding to the SWT.  That's a lot of activity.
Everytime I hear people talk about the SWT, they say something like, "the SWT would be great if we didn't already have the AWT".  I'm interested in an open-source managed environment for desktop apps on Linux.  If the guys working on the SWT port also do a port/translation of JFace, then I have a UI toolkit that runs in both Java and C# on Windows and Linux.  You would also have native platform widgets.  I noticed that the Eclipse 2.2 draft plan includes a workbench item titled "Enable Eclipse to be used as a general purpose application framework."
