To be fair - both of those guys are trying to build an ecosystem - not just an
OS, but an OS and tools and products layered on top of it. They want to create
an environment that you want to come to and spend $$$.
Oracle's bottom line is about Big Data and the appware in the middle of it.
That middle ware uses several technologies for graphical display and JavaFX is
just one of them. Unless you are a middle ware customer, you probably have not
seen any of them, because unlike MS Word, or Apple ITunes, they are not usually
seen by the general public.
It certainly would be nice to have more JavaFX applications (real apps or even
good demos) as it would help showcase the capabilities. Jasper has whipped
together some interesting demo apps over the years for JavaOne
Any suggestions on good demo apps for small boards (Pi, i.MX6) ? (Existing or
otherwise).

I agree that Oracle should have an in-house apps team to create a few real
world apps. Sun's lack of this helped marginalize Java Client and
Corporates should only do what concerns their business and AFAIK Oracle's
business was not to create real world apps (I mean, with the exception of IDEs
or other apps for the management of Oracle apps). A technology owner, usually,
when tries to create a real world app only creates a demonstrator of a real
world app, which doesn't have any success.
