While you're asking for criticism... here are my unsolicited $.02 Performance still seems to need work... in terms of using it for UI, it still feels sluggish to me, sort of like Flash. In terms of animation, it isn't as smooth as I'm wanting to see. When I heard that they were introducing some hardware acceleration to the rendering engine, I had really high hopes.
In terms of making an impression: At least one or two demos with a high level of polish is in order. Sun needs to scare up a top-notch graphic artist or two, pair them up with a developer who has some aesthetic sense, (e.g., you, or Romain Guy), and give them the time to come up with something that may be shallow in functionality, but really shows off what JavaFX can do. An example of what I'm talking about, in terms of level of polish and smoothness of animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpgOcuTv_xM If JavaFX can enable something like this, with ease and performance (and by the way, the FX language is really pretty cool), I would be a true believer. I'm hoping that it can get there in relatively short order. And more from these guys... the stuff I'm seeing from them is pretty uniformly great: http://www.youtube.com/user/TATMobileUI Not sure if that was helpful at all, but there you have it.
