One advantage of DWT is/was that it linked directly with the system.
With wxWidgets (in wxD), there is the C++ framework layer inbetween.

But other than that, the two should be rather similar in look/feel ?
At least when compared to GTK+ or Qt, using their own custom widgets.

What site is that ? Is it one of these:

http://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screensh.htm

http://wxd.sourceforge.net/screenshot.html

http://wxd.sourceforge.net/#screenshots

It's not supposed to look much different, from other native apps.
The easiest way to see is trying the wxWidgets binaries yourself:
