AFAIK DDT is modeled after (Java) SWT (used in eclipse).

I'd love to see DWT improved, so it really works on all/most platforms 
that are supported by SWT, especially Linux i386/amd64 and OSX.
(I haven't looked at DWT's homepage for some time and it currently seems 
to be down due to dsource issues).
