In the context of the provided text, what's the main reason given for using SWT over Swing?

Better performance due to native OS integration
Simpler syntax and usage
Broader widget selection
Superior threading model

The correct answer is: Better performance due to native OS integration

SWT is a framework that allows developers to build graphical user interfaces for Java applications, while Swing is a set of GUI components included in the Java Development Kit. One of the main reasons for using SWT over Swing is that SWT offers better performance due to its native integration with the operating system. This means that SWT applications are able to directly access system resources and functionality, resulting in improved speed and efficiency. Options B, C, and D do not directly address the reason for choosing SWT over Swing. While they may be potential benefits of using SWT, they are not the main reason given by the text. Therefore, option A is the most accurate answer.
