One big difference is that SWT is native and GTK+ uses its own drawing 
operations. DWT is a port of SWT to D, GtkD is just bindings (+ 
wrappers) to GTK+. That means that the end users will have to have GTK+ 
installed on Windows.

I don't know if DWT works with GDC, it was quite a long time since I 
used GDC. If you have any problems I'm willing to help you.

One thing that was dropped from DWT in the porting progress was the 
(web) browser package.
