Hi,
the one thing, that annoys the hell out of me with HTML based GUIs is,
that everybody reinvents everything, everytime.
Matthias,
you don't know how much I agree with your statement. And I know some major
speakers around - also friend of mine - who think the same. This annoys me
so much that sometimes I wonder whether I'd better change job.
The problem is: the industry is literally intoxicated by this attitude,
and I don't see we can do much to fight it. It is like that for a number
of converging reasons, including the fact that, from a business point of
view, it's like the classic "dig holes and then fill them", or "break
windows and then fix them".
Personally I've abandoned Swing time ago, but I find JavaFX pretty good.
Now, unfortunately, I'm seeing even the latest "Asterix villages" that
kept on developing rich client applications falling down and being
pressured to move development of UIs to HTML5. In this perspective, I must
say that Oracle's announce to drop JavaFX from the runtime and give it to
the community, while it theoretically could be not a major problem for the
survival of the technology, it's probably going to effectively kill it,
because project managers will interpret the thing like an imminent death -
JavaFX finding itself without a corporate sponsor.
On my perspective, I can work as technology advocate, architect and
supporting consultant for developers, but I'm not the typical professional
figure that can influence project managers (who reason with different
references than me) to the point of making their minds - and I believe
many of us, unfortunately, are in the same bandwagon. So, I don't see a
critical mass to change things.
