	i would really like to see an alternative to AWT that uses
	lower-level primitives ...

The problem with this is that people are accustomed to using a
native widget set on a particular platform.

	i wouldn't have to own N machines to develop java applets
	...

I agree that bugfixes on the various native platforms should be a
priority for the Java development team.  But bugs will get fixed,
whereas the Next Great UI will set us back years ...
