Since my switch to Java (which is since 2010 or something around that) I did a few smaller Swing Applications and I never did something bigger so that I seriously considered NetBeans platform. Since then mostly backend and one web project with Vaadin and one with GWT (in both cases you have web, but program in Java). I loved Vaadin especially for the fact, that you code it similar as Swing. In the last years I worked with teams in projects where web clients are implemented with AngularJS, Angular and React, but I totally miss the Swing feeling. For some kind of applications a desktop application is still a no-brainer, but more and more is browser based, even for applications where I would totally prefer a desktop application. But even photo editing software on the smartphone can be pretty good these days. There might be a little of a comeback to desktop applications with the trend to decouple from the big players nowadays and to be more resilient in case of internet outages, but on the other hand a web application gives you more platform compatibility. I loved the Sing being compatible with Linux, MacOS and Windows, but nowadays you want everything also to work on the smartphone for real platform independence. If you consider a platform/framework change then one of the first major questions is: Are there ongoing development plans where the current implementation will hold you back significantly? Usually in such situations, if only maintenance is done any more, such a big change is usually not worth the effort. Not sure if that really helps you, best regards, Martin. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
