That's true, really. For Quick and Dirty apps, it really doesn't matter, but
if you are planning to distribute the apps to a large number of users, you
really need a tailored interface (Windows, Linux, whatever). Java apps on
Windows are clunky, ugly, and tend to sink below other windows. Pretty much
the same list of things leveled at GtkAda.
