What a load of crap. Swing doesn't suck, you just suck at it.

Apparently, Swing designers thought that Swing apps would have been fluid and resizable, and it would have been hard to stick all fluidity into a simple resource file. And now you have it. Swing code is crap even when it is well-formatted, with these unwieldy listeners and a forest of interfaces. There are nicer ways to create event listener than to implement an interface with bunch of methods in it. And now we are switching to "why programming to interfaces" thread. Swing is a clear example why programming to interfaces is sometimes such a pain in the butt.
