I remember being very disappointed when I first looked at Java for

And yet, the hardcore Java developer will defend it vigorously.
This is not true as most Java developers know that Swing is pretty old.
BTW, getting back to the original Phil's statement, apart from the fact
that you can have properties in the language with an annotation processor,
I'd like to know what does he mean with "no events". One of the problems
of Swing is perhaps that there are too many (kinds of) events.
