Is the NetBeans Platform the best choice for a JavaFX only desktop application?

Thanks for the answers! Some of the characteristics of the app (not in order of importance) are: - Look should be consistent and easily customizable from the user side - Heavy use of data stored in a database, with part of that data represented visually through charts and images - Easy to update The app would definitely benefit from the NetBeans module system and windowing system (with heavy use of the docking modes). The hybrid approach will be a big problem from the customization point of view. I completed the Simpson's app example from JavaFX Client Programming for the NetBeans Platform but, IMHO, it does not look good and consistent from a visual point of view. Please feel free to share your thoughts. I don't mind if your are biased. I got a suggestion to look at the Griffon framework to create a pure JavaFX applicaiton, but if I can avoid recreating the window system it would be great... I believe Geertjan was involved with that project at some point so he might be able to share his thoughts about it. I wish the NetBeans team could refactor the code somehow so swing could be replaced by JavaFx. I know it might be impossible at this point... but I can't help dreaming! Again, thanks for your thoughts, they're really appreciated.
