Aside from the normal terror of using Swing, I agree with this--with one caveat. As JetBrains has learned, Swing's text editing controls and modern Linux look, regardless of style, like crap.

Less of a big deal for a word processor, but a pretty big deal for them. :(

I have never had a problem getting Swing to do what I want it to. People who bash usually haven't tried to actually learn it.
