It depends on which requirements you have. Mostly native vs 
non-native. For example, anything that is non-native or doesn't 
look native is not acceptable on OS X.

There's DWT [1] as well. Which uses native drawing operations and 
are completely written in D. Although it has more Java like 
interface and there's no support for OS X.
