Chas, You have plenty to say, considering you've never used JavaFX Script ;-)
Here's a reality check... I've been programming complex graphics, in a variety of languages, for over twenty five years, since I was a kid. On everything from early 8- bit microcomputers, through high-end vector and raster graphics systems from companies like Evans & Sutherland and Silicon Graphics (when those were hot companies!), to modern workstations and desktop computers running Unix, Mac OS, and Windows. There's no doubt about this - JavaFX Script is *the* most fun and productive way for coding graphical applications ever created. That makes it potentially a massively important new technology. Sure, some nice, flexible off-the-shelf components are absolutely needed for the everyday stuff like building forms and charts. A useful bunch of those are coming in the next release, as I understand it. And sure, there's a whole bunch of other issues with the platform as a whole that will need to be resolved before it will see widespread adoption. No technical red flags though (although, maybe some rocket science required). Bottom line is: Oracle has a huge opportunity with JavaFX. I hope it takes it.
