SwiXml lets you move the layout out of your code. That is it's core feature. It doesn't simplify the layout task itself (since you are still using Swing layout managers) but it makes it easier to manage. This is especially important for large programs where the user interface is spread out among multiple developers and multiple months (or years, in some cases). I think SwiXml makes the overall job of dealing with layout a lot easier.

That said, Wolf Paulus, the author, told me he plans to work on support for the JGoodies Form Layout next, which I have found does make layout itself a lot easier.
