It really depends what you want to achieve. I am using both. There are some
really nice features in Visual Lib if you plant to make some graph's with
connections and allowing interactivity on those. It uses the same Scene
graph approach but Visual Lib rendereing is executed on the EDT thread
together with all the others RCP Swing related rendering while FX is using
its own FX thread. Not a super big issue but very healthy to be aware of.
Personally if I had to start out from scratch I would see if I could make
it work with FX but this for no mean gives you a free ride as it may cause
as much work if not more depending what you would like to achieve.
