Less than 1% I'll bet.
For the rest of us, Swing works just fine, and it's a whole lot better than some of the other UI toolkits out there.
- azinman2 13y agoExcept basic interfaces can still be done with things like iOS. If you're going to take the time to build a UI framework, it shouldn't specialize in being craptaculuar. I'd also venture to say a lot more than 1%. Modern world (finally) recognizes that design/experience are core to any product, enterprise or not. That's part of the reason there's a whole new breed of funded enterprise companies out there -- they're taking lessons from the web/apps and applying them to replace old-school solutions. [I'm personally hoping more people recognize this need for developer tools which typically are the worst offenders of all, particularly on the database side.] Part of having a good framework is what allows apps/applications to excel -- it helps you raise your own bar because the tools are just so much better that nicer UI/UX can be had without being a nightmare in code. That's a win for everyone.
