> Java never got to the desktop (including browser)

What do you mean by this? There are a lot of desktop Java applications...

I'd like to hear about them, because apart from enterprise applications, there aren't that many left. Electron is the new desktop Java.

I wouldn't call them dominant by any stretch, but I wouldn't call them uncommon. Ones I use somewhere between daily and semi-regularly:

* Pycharm * Datagrip * Charles * JDiskReport * TexturePacker * Android Studio and associated tools * Apache Directory Studio * Zed attack proxy

That's just stuff that I've used recently and on an ongoing basis... I feel like I see quite a bit more of it.

I used to use a thing called JMeter. But its GUI felt inferior in my view compared to typical Windows applications.
