I disagree.

First, the Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) has no its own Look and
Feel. Widows AWT implementation uses native Win32 widgets, and
Unix/Linux AWT implementation uses Motif.

Second, Swing provides Pluggable Look&Feel mechanism -- there are
platform-independend Java Look&Feel (hated by you, I see ;-)), but also
Windows Look&Feel and Motif Look&Feel. Under MacOS X, there is also
another Aqua look&feel. For example, see how jEdit runs under MacOS X:

There are also thid-pary look&feels for Swing, listed at:

It's true, of course, that we don't see a lot of Java implementation on
the client side. But the Look&Feel issue is not the reason for that.
