I've been using Swing for a couple of years now for GUI application development. It definitely feels 'retro' in a lot of ways -- Java is well on its way to being the successor to Cobol and Swing reminds me way more of Motif/Xt than Gtk+ or Qt as it's all about constructing dialog boxes out of (frankly terrible) geometry management abstractions. Unlike Motif/Xt, Gtk+ or Qt, the API along with the whole toolkit implementation is expressed using the programming language itself, so I don't feel like I'm using several languages at the same time. An unexpected bonus feature about using Java is that the core application logic runs on Android as well. -- -keith
