Java GUI -v- .NET Winforms ?

Can anyone give a reasoned response to how a Java UI compares to a .NET
Winforms UI, or links articles discussing this ? [please, no flame war!]

Typical arguments I hear are about Java UI's are:

"Just never looks quite right" - always slightly different to a "proper"
windows app.
Slow and clunky
Memory hungry
Not as much functionality
More difficult to develop
....


How true these are I don't know, and may be relics of Java's early days. Any
thoughts on how well Java does UI's these days ?

Thanks,
Andy Mackie.
