Couldn't agree more with what you've said there.  I'm far more
concerned with what the desktop UI future holds.  What is the future
around NetBeans platform, or AN Other next-gen RCP, that is JavaFX
based?  Having two UI toolkits in one application is not ideal!

This article at DZone is also interesting in this context (and is it
referencing something you were involved in?!)
