Hi Karsten, That site is great, certainly an advanced flash application created by 3d artists.
Currently, from my impressions, JavaFX currently does target designers, the entire "production suite" is aimed at designers and developers working together, although i'll agree that the current demonstrations are a bit lacking in body (although a great starting block to build on). I have hopes that more and more JavaFX sample sites and apps will come along, and we will see more and more potential with the JavaFX platform. The nice thing about the production suite is that it keeps designers in Photoshop/Illustrator, not requiring them to learn a new application, like how Microsoft have done their Expression Blend Studio/Visual Studio interactions.
