Building GUIs in Java is a massive pain in the butt. Building GUIs with HTML and CSS is a breeze. That's a major difference.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoOnly if you've never built a GUI in anything other than a web stack (which is about the most awful environment for GUI I've ever had to deal with). Java GUIs can be done with WYSIWYG designers FFS.
- neurotrace 8y agoI started out making GUIs in Java. It was definitely harder to make reasonable, good looking, UIs in it than it is in a web stack. There are WYSIWYGs for the web too. Doesn't mean they're good to use. I guess it all comes down to opinion. Clearly the Java model of GUIs maps better to your mind and the web model of GUIs maps better to mine.
