    Swing was by far my favorite.

    Nice. My team constantly gripes about it but I’m all, “…it’s a well designed UI toolkit…?” I can make it do anything. It took me weeks (as a newbie) to try to lay out UI components just so with the new hotness and at the end I had to give up and move on. It would’ve taken me five minutes to do it with Swing.

      Swing is what all these xml layout tools have been trying to replicate, honestly. Some get close, but far too few.

      It warmed my heart when GWT basically copied swing for its layout. Made that super easy to learn.
