Peter, can you tell me which limitations you mean? As I wrote in an other thread, the limitations came from GWT. The Problem is that a Java developer doesn’t want to write HTML, CSS and JS so they are looking for an alternative. GWT or Vaadin or kotlin to js, I can’t understand that, but ok. So please don’t compare GWT or Vaadin with native JS.

Oracle will remove JavaFXfromOracle JDK Christian I am sure electron is good, but my personal preference is to not use a web ide. Javascript as a language has a lot of limitations. I have written gwt code to export java to html and you are limited a lot in how you design your apps.
