If I wanted bloated UIs that look the same on every platform but integrate poorly with every platform I'd use Java Swing.

Oh yes, I totally forgot, that option has been around forever as well (I only mentioned QT) -- I've only written one non-trivial app in it and it wasn't the worst experience actually (but then again, it was a greenfield project, albeit close to a decade ago now)

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again

JavaFX has been released almost a decade ago, and it's much nicer to work with. There is really no reason to be using Swing anymore.

Interesting, I wrote in AWT a lifetime ago, and swing was billed as the hot new thing then.
