Udell: Eclipse is hot stuff

It's true that SWT is not yet available everywhere. But Eclipse 2.0 works with Windows, Motif, and GTK+ (Gimp Toolkit) 2, and operability on Mac OS X seems imminent. Unlike Swing-based software, Eclipse works immediately with native features such as Windows XP skinning. "Microsoft has lots of programmers and so does Gnome/GTK," Grindstaff says. "So why not leverage that?"
From a very interesting InfoWorld article on Eclipse via Sam Ruby. I prefer Swing, but if the Eclipse SWT approach means that vim could be embedded into the Eclipse IDE then Eclipse will be the IDE for me. I need to download the Eclipse 2.0 beta and take it for a spin.
