I've done rather little GUI programming in my day (it doesn't appeal to me), but I've been hearing about JavaFX lately and just today took a quick look at what it's all about (someone on one of the IDEA forums suggested it will ultimately take the place of Swing, and that got me curious). So I'm wondering, how does JavaFX factor into matters of GUI programming and good APIs and frameworks to facilitate it? > ...
