More tedious than HTML? That's a surprise. Java is more verbose than JavaScript it's true, but I've been using Kotlin for years and Kotlin is more concise than both. HTML doesn't even have much of a widget library beyond a few basics, so to get even close to the basics JavaFX provides you need to import a whole pile of libraries.
I'm curious to learn more about the dev console thing. The dev console is a nice thing but you're talking about breakpoints and watches. Any IDE has a great integrated debugger, and with JavaFX you can step into the entire GUI framework right now to where it issues draw calls to Direct3D or OpenGL, so it's far more debuggable than a webview. I would understand more if you were talking about things like the network explorer views, but debugging? Java debuggers are great!
