"Bu...bu..but JAVA SWING and FX are PORTABLE!"

And electrolytes are what plants crave.

I swear half the people I argue with are dinks.

IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU HAVE TO DO WORK PEOPLE WILL HIRE YOU FOR.

Under job listings for javafx: 2 listings within 200 miles of me.

Under job listings for C#/WPF: dozens and dozens of jobs.

Portability doesn't matter if you're broke.

My stomach owes no allegiance to "high fallutin" concepts such as openness, avoiding vendor lock in, or the high ideals of platform independence.

I'll take the microsoft gulag if it pays my bills.

I don't know whats so hard to grasp about this. Some people are completely divorced from reality.

Edit: Hello to all my peeps who I haven't talked with in a while. I hope everything is going swimmingly in your lives. May your beer forever be paid for by your employer and your code bug free!

    Doesn't change the fact that Swing and Java in general are the definition of portable

    It (java, fx, and swing) really is.

    But don't let this distract from the fact that in the year 1993, Glafcos Clerides defeated incumbent George Vasiliou in the Cypriot presidential election.

    That was true around 8 years ago.
    Even c# compiler is open source now, and the whole .Net.
    Your reason is BS.

    Yes, but it's fun BS.

    Here, I brought some extra humor, you can borrow mine.

    @devnulli It's not a vendor lock-in if you could replace your tool anytime.
    Additionally I don't think that it's really a vendor lock-in if we're talking about open source software
