Well, Java does have a UI lib of its own and it doesn't make shipping an executable simpler.

This is not about shipping executables. Its about kids being able to sit down and bang out a program, complete with a UI.

Most kids want to make games and have their friends and the world play them. Desktop software isn't dead either. Real artists ship.
