Is there someone working on a solution for smoother looking graphics?
It would be nice to have a drawing class enabling access to the OS's
enhanced graphics routines.

Anyway, the "default" environment probably does include things like
DirectDraw. But my understanding is that the GDIplus libraries are pretty
simple compared to DirectDraw. It *is* possible to try to load a DLL, and
fail gracefully if that DLL is not present. However, I'm not sure to what
extent win32 calls and gdi+ calls could be mixed. In AWT, you would simply
cast to Graphics2D, but I'm guessing that for windows, you have to create
all new resources starting at the GC for the window handle. So, for SWT to
try to find GDI+, and then to use win32 when not available, might require
shipping to complete implementations of GC and other classes.
