I suppose I'll be the one to say it -- JavaFX doesn't speak at all to our requirements or use-cases, while Swing did and does. Given that, Matisse remains part of our core toolset, and none of the murmurings around the JavaFX "designer tool" have given me any hope that that will change anytime soon. I'm certain I'm not the only one with that perspective, so I'd hope that we could stay away from stuff like saying Matisse/Swing/et al. are 'evolutionary dead-ends'. UI is all about getting pixels on the screen in the way that will achieve the customers' goals -- nothing more, nothing less -- and given that JavaFX is just another layer on top of AWT, I think everyone would be better served by not thinking about the former as some wholly-new revolutionary technology.
