Should just use javafx or swing. Take a leaf out of intellij which while it as it's own performance problems (although not from the fact of the ui framework) has a fantastic ui across Mac / windows / nix

Java swing is way underrated despite being very complex. It baffles me why this just sort of withered on the vine.

(I was a swing developer for several years)

  • The web sucked all the oxygen out of the room.

    • It really was Oracle’s fault – they neglected deployment for too long. Deploying Java applications was simply too painful, and neither JLink nor JPackage existed.
