I can't speak for 1995, but a bit later Java run equally bad on every platform and Qt run almost almost natively pretty much everywhere and with great tools to assemble UIs.
- speedgoose 5y agoIn my opinion web provides a developer experience that is a lot more enjoyable than Java and Qt can do for user interfaces. I have to admit that I only did small projects on Java and Qt frontends, but it was not very nice. Qt needs to be adapted and compiled for every platform, it takes time and efforts and it's not interesting. And making a good frontend in Java is hard, I can't think of any Java application with a good frontend.
- barbarbar 5y agoWhat about IntelliJ? Though some would say it is a bit "not lightweight". But it does have a lot of features.
- speedgoose 5y agoIt’s not a very impressive user interface. It works as an IDE but I would not show it to non developers as an example of a good Java user interface.
