There are a lot more controls, and with JavaFX (the next generation of Java UI technology that JetBrains' own IDEs are also based on), you have even more controls (and more powerful ones). Also, those controls are actually the kinds of controls that will get you the most out of using a desktop, rather than this mobile-first stuff, where the limitations of mobile platforms are the defining constraints and they needlessly constrain also what you can do with those toolkits on desktop.
