HTML isn't designed for good looking. The default stylesheet for HTML is impossibly ugly. Heck look at HN, hardly a thing of beauty.
However, most people do a lot of work to make web sites and apps attractive. You can do that work with Swing or JavaFX too. I've done it before, it was fine, I ended up with a modern web-ish feel to the UI.
- hutzlibu 6y agoBy now, html is totally designed to be good looking. Look at all the amount of work, that went into CSS and co. Things that cost me a line in CSS, like text-shadow, probably would require me to implement a shader libary in swing.
