That's what I would expect (though I find the Athena version nicer since 
it's easier to drag the divider between panes).  I recall the OpenLook 
version as not performing as fast as Motif (though nicer to look at). But 
aside from a Solaris 7 on one of my older machine's partitions, I don't 
have a way to test it.

Sun hacked up their header files for OpenLook (a while ago...) so they 
wouldn't compile unless I added a special #define.  That worked until the 
next "upgrade", when the resulting program would not layout the screen 
properly.

The versions I use most are vile in xterm and winvile...
