Please don't even mention Electron! It has its pros, I recognize that, but we're talking about an IDE + Java...I can't afford a new GPU :D Anyway switching from Swing to JavaFX would be real cool, sooner or later projects will have to stay update with latest technologies, why have them then? But I get it would be a giant process, so just my +1 and count me in whenever you'll decide to do it
