Consider switching the look and feel to native or nimbus #160

Currently the application uses a LAF selected by Lomilar. I believe that a 
better fitting look and feel would be the native one for each platform.
For comparison I'm uploading screenshots of EC with the current, native and 
nimbus look and feel.

I'll upload screenshots for Vista later on.

What do you all think? Should we change the LAF?

Added MS Vista screenshots without the Nimbus LAF.
Also if anyone wants to try it on a Mac OS X/different OS then change:
javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.jgoodies.looks.plastic.Plastic3DLookAn
dFeel");
to:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());

Sorry I didn't post sooner.  It looks kind of bad on Mac I think.  The tabs are 
displayed vertically, making them hard to read.  Also, it won't let you make 
the left half of the window wider (by moving the middle bar).

Also, you don't see the status bar at the bottom that displays the time it was 
running.

Replied to my comment #2, looks like Lomilar fixed the resize issue in r169.
