IntelliJ/IDEA was written well over a decade ago when Swing was at its 
prime. I doubt they would have re-made that choice today. Swings been dead 
for years, bugs go unfixed and features just aren't added. JavaFX never got 
to live. It's useless. Both look awful on newer hardware and don't support 
newer OS features/capabilities such as UWP... 
The same goes to SWT which is also a dead end technology.

Even Java itself is in peril and pretty bad condition due to the stupid JVM 
distribution policies that make JavaFX apps even harder/nearly impossible 
to distribute. This GUI builder works on iOS, Android and in the browser 
directly right now. Unfortunately when we started the work there were no 
desktop Codename One apps so some of the theme elements need refinement but 
unlike Swing we can actually fix and refine everything, it just takes 
proper bug reports from developers rather than whining and grandstanding 
from people who should know better.
