It depends on what you're looking at. The SWT philosophy is something 
like this: Use controls that are available as native controls on as many 
platforms as possible. For example, if a control is available as native 
on 3 out of 4 platforms, use the native on the 3 platforms and emulate 
it on the fourth. If a control is only native on 1 out of 4 platforms 
don't include it in SWT. SWT also has some custom (non-native) controls 
like the tabs used by Eclipse.
