I don't believe Swing is used as infrequently as you seem to imply. I
see it used quite often for applications developed to be run inside a
single company. I have developed many such applications and two of
them were written this year. They are in active production use and
have many planned enhancements.

I don't think it makes sense to turn every GUI into a web-based one.
For example, some of my recent Swing applications read Excel files,
present the data in a way that is easier to navigate, allow the data
to be modified, allow new data to be added, and output new Excel
files. It would be cumbersome to do something like that in a web app.
