You know, I thought I was a fool for writing my apps in JavaFX... but after trying many other things, it seems it's up there with the best of the bunch.

My non-trivial app can be built with jlink to be a no-dependencies on JVM binary for all Operating Systems.... each of which sits at just 30MB... and when run, it needs around 60MB of RAM, which is a lot but I am yet to find a multiplatform UI toolkit that delivers much less than that... except for some toy frameworks which can't really be used for realworld apps.
