GUI builders are great for prototyping or helping you learn. But when the application gets complex I keep hearing developers throw them out. They start getting in the way. I think if you have a good API and a good declarative UI language, think QML not FXML, then you may find you don¹t really need

I think from the Eclipse side, it probably makes more sense to start using FXCanvas more. I've already started that with editors that use the WebView. I'll throw my hat into the ring of rewriting the IDEs from scratch would be very difficult to do where we are today. Back when we used to make a
