Yes, that is the general consensus outside Sun I think- far too little and too late. I may be biased by seeing JavaFX steal the precious few resources Sun have away from everything else, when clearly going up against Adobe and Microsoft is a long shot by any measure. On top of that, Google is not exactly resting on its laurels but keeps pushing the limit for a rich browser experience - without the need of a secondary runtime container. If you notice, many RIA technology reviews don't even mention JavaFX at all. I might have felt differently if JavaFX was targeted as a JavaNG rather than this narrow applet version 2.0 technology in a whole new and unfamiliar syntax.
