I would focus on bug-free functionality and *performance* over new features. Layout and CSS issues still seem to have a significant drag on JavaFX rendering.
Much of the new features I want are somewhat motivated by performance anyway. E.g. getting native window handles… to handle performance issues with 3D and video overlays. I think #2, while cheap, will severely harm JavaFX adoption just from the added nuisance alone. Is there a precedent where this has worked out?
