One interesting feature of SWT is to provide native access to any widget that exists on a given platform, but to emulate those that don't (in Java -- in our case Haskell)
This way you are not achieving native look and feel.
The example they gave was tree widgets which are not supported by Motif, and which are therefore emulated. If a program assumes the existence of a widget, it is useful for the library supports it on an emasculated platform. If the program author feels like changing his program to no longer use such a feature on that platform to satisfy the Look and Feel gods, she/he is free to do so. I doubt many people would really want the native look & feel version in this case.
BTW, I 've seen many people mention the "just one menubar per application in aqua" problem.
Every time you spawn a new Acrobat you get a new menu with it. It just doesn't go at the top of the screen as on old Macs. I don't know what new Macs do. I'd be surprised if MDI is forced on you in gtk. It isn't in Windows: you can open a new window and put a menu on it if you want. Sengan
