I was using OWL at the time, which I recall as pretty good.

Swing was nice to program, but had sluggish reaction time and more than a few bugs (speaking of Swing 0.9/1.0, never went much further).

OWL was quite good and one of my favourite C++ frameworks, but not something that was being used at my university on assignments that were mostly done on UNIX, which was my point.
Yeah, under UNIX, the UX landscape was really bad. I think that Qt was available already, but not quite open source.
