Apparently JavaFX didnt die as we all thought back when Oracle spit it out of the JDK, they will happily offer support for it now, but who wants to be in bed with Oracle.
That looks really sleek. One thing JavaFX got right was CSS support.
I don't think this is an accurate assessment. Oracle has its flaws and closet full of dead bodies/skeletons, but they've been good stewards of the JDK and JavaFX overall. Gluon and Oracle have done tremendous amount of work with JavaFX.
Splitting it off the JDK was definitely the correct call. It's a Desktop UI framework, it should not be bound to JDK releases.
