I remember being very disappointed when I first looked at Java for writing desktop UIs. It was a huge step backwards from all the lessons learned from Delphi and VB in the 90s. No properties, no events, layout hell, overly complicated APIs.
It's like the engineers at Sun didn't even look at what others had done. It's 2012 and it's still much faster and easier to write a client in Delphi circa 1997 than Java Swing. I can't comment on JavaFX of course, never looked at it.
