What you have addressed here is quite right, actually that is what I was trying to say in my article when I was referring to user experience (remember my window closing and menu bar examples).

To make a Swing application feel right however involves some work and there has been a series about that here on java.net. But that (to polish it, as you said) was not the scope of my article. One of my major points is that a program should not force a certain look and feel. I absolutely agree that Kunststoff or JGoodies looks really look nice, but no program should force me to use it.

Thomas
