I used a version of Maple that shipped with both the Java GUI and the native one. It was amazing how much faster the native GUI started and ran. This was before I learned "real" programming, so I actually stuck with the Java GUI to get the pretty-printed math formula editor. Still, maybe that experience caused me to avoid writing Java programs later on...

However many Java desktop applications are bad, mainly because developers don't care. - No setting of the platform's L&F - Everything is done on the main thread - No care is taken about how to write GC friendly code and data structures - No attention to eye candy It is like having Assembly developers cry at the shitty performance of C compilers in the early 80's and blame the language.
