By now, html is totally designed to be good looking. Look at all the amount of work, that went into CSS and co.

Things that cost me a line in CSS, like text-shadow, probably would require me to implement a shader libary in swing.

In Swing, yeah. Swing focuses very much on boring business-type UI.

Not in JavaFX where such shaders are pre-canned and there's a CSS dialect too. I wrote my web-like app in JavaFX. It was no big deal.
