I would say it's also too early to say what is really needed in OOo. I'm not sure if the newer version use native widgets at all, and if they do, the toolkit will be driven by the needs of OOo. If it doesn't require drag&drop in the UI, or complex custom classes, I would say Reaction is the way to go because it's much more lightweigth than MUI... OTOH, if some advanced features only MUI can offer are necessary, Reaction is out of question...
I was reading up on VCL for 2.0 earlier, it seems they're changing the way it works from 1.x.x:
" VCL provided a desktop and operating system independent look to OpenOffice.org 1.x. However most user preferred OpenOffice.org to look and behave according to their favourite desktop theme. In 2.0 VCL will pick up that theme, not by emulating it but simply by using the desktops very own methods to draw a control. Currently support for Windows XP and recent versions of Gnome is implemented. KDE remains to be seen."
I couldn't get any more details than that as all the docs are in SXW format.
http://gsl.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList looked like it could provide some useful information.
