Having worked with Swing recently, I worry that it will not work well on the near-distant future, because it feels frozen in time at about 2005.

There are a lot of assumptions baked in that aren't holding up today.

For example, high density and multi monitor aren't well supported. There's a bunch of stuff hard-coded in the JDK that no longer makes sense and you have to hack around.

I haven't worked with FX or Swing lately but I could have sworn they delivered hidpi support. Maybe in this JEP? https://openjdk.org/jeps/263

I recommend using the JetBrains JRE, they have fixed lots of these sorts of issues, as well as greatly improved hot class reloading for development.
