For me and most others I think: Waiting - and helping out - for a working swing implementation in GNU classpath. When this goal is achieved for the different applications is to be decided by the packager (who should from time to time test it IMHO). Using SwingWT would only be an alternative if it would be complete. Last time I checked there was to much stuff missing. So this could also be only decided on an application basis.
