When the new look and feel debuted in Eclipse M8 a lot of people were not happy. One of the arguments in Swing Vs. SWT was the SWT had a native look and feel. There were a lot of debate about this and the eclipse team listened to the feedback and have added an option in M9 build to revert to the 2.1 look and feel.

This setting can be found at Window>Preference>Workbench>Appearance>Current Presentation (See screenshot below)  I am going to try the 2.1 presentation not that I don’t like the new look. I just want to see what usability improvements are there in the new presentation.
