> Where is its equivalent of QGraphicsView I wasn't aware having feature parity with <INSERT FRAMEWORK FOR INSERT LANGUAGE> was necessary for language to beat C++. I could have sworn Java did it without half of those. Ultimately it depends what you want to do? Cross platform GUI or winning pointless debates. If you really want cross platform GUI you pretty much have to use Web based UI. Because Apple is extremely hostile to anything that tries to be native on its platform.

Not on desktop, it didn't. IDEs are the only surviving Java desktop applications, and a few outliers like Bitwig DAW.

  It didn't except for programs that did? Well by that measure neither did C/C++. Only few survivors in the deluge of Electron apps. Chrome and Firefox also use JavaScript/CSS for their GUI.
