The effort is *well* worth it! The people who fail are often
people who do not understand OO or OO architecture (see Corel as
a case study).
Certainly a thin-client HTML (avoid any DHTML technologies... stay
vanilla HTML and HTTP) interface to your server stuff is useful
and may be your first GUI, but its only for casual users of your
system. Heavy users require a richer client GUI.
We have been using Swing for years... very, very successfully.
But... you must understand OO architecture and you must understand
the modified MVC architecture of Swing to pull it off efficiently.
And of course, you should understand good GUI design and
use Java Web Start (JWS) for deployment.
It takes some effort to understand OO (and Swing) well, but it is
well worth the time and effort.
