sounds great! Is SWT performance good enough to instantiate widgets on
traversal?

grid looks great but has still no virtual support. I'm thinking of giving
compositeTable a try with canvas-rows and painting cell with draw2d/gef
direct-edit. But I'll have to do that after customer change end of march.

I completely agree with you that databinding helps a lot in code clarity
and productivity. I already use that great stuff (the 3.2 evolution) and I
would miss it a lot if it weren't here :-)
