I think a bigger problem is that less and less end users have the JVM installed.

JavaFX also has support to bundle a JRE with its native installer support, it can build a exe, msi, dmg etc. The bigger issue is Oracle not really giving it the proper attention.

Did you try to using it in production? It's flaky at best...

Even if it were true, you can easily bundle a JRE with your app, which is what Oracle recommends actually. In the end, it still ends up being smaller in size than a Electron/NW.js app.

I think it is not true at all. And yes you are probably better off with bundling.
