Interesting thread. Amy and the IBM guy both have valid points. I was peripherally involved in some of the Swing stuff when I worked at IBM at the time. A few of us reviewed Swing for IBM at round the time they were integrating Netscape's IFC code and Gosling decided to rename it from JFC to KFC because he hated the JFC name and wanted an interim name that was just plain illegal.
My personal take on it at the time was that Swing was a good idea, but seriously overdesigned. Not everything needs to be MVC. But then, I was shell-shocked after surviving Taligent, which was overdesign taken to its unnatural conclusion.
