My day job is writing Eclipse RCP based thick clients. The platform is very nice indeed! JVM (Java in my case :/) + native widgets (fast) + built in update mechanism + robust module system (OSGi) Love or hate Eclipse the IDE, Eclipse the Rich Client Platform is really solid framework for thick clients.
