... which is what I assume Burnette meant by "physical," but how about
the logical, or at least communicational, sense?
Empirically, users are pretty good at figuring out when they have a UI
problem :-) (Note that I am using "UI" in the common sense, not in the
Eclipse-specific platform-ui sense.) But empirically they have
difficulty differentiating problem etiologies/domains between SWT and
JFace. Thus we have many threads of the form
+ I have this problem ...
- This is a Y problem, not an X problem. Please post in the
appropriate venue.
While the current communicational division (platform-{swt, ui}-dev,
e.platform<|.swt>) may map cleanly to personnel organization, I sense
it is not efficiently helpful to users.
