That's why I said I don't think it's the only game in town. There are certain things that need that low-level hardware / GPU access, including the things I work on myself and for others. Not a lot of that has anything to do with AWT / Swing, doesn't need to be in the JDK, and is probably better off without AWT around (looking at you OSX / startOnFirstThread!)
