Is Java Swing still in use?

Question

I am planning on making a Java Swing application and was wondering if Swing is still used or if it has been replaced with something else.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can still use Java Swing, though I'd recommend using JavaFX. Designing UIs is easier as the SceneBuilder helps you do just that. It is also newer, so longer support and development. The advantage of Swing is that it has been out for quite a long time, so you'll find more tutorials and help for Swing, but JavaFX is catching up. If you'd like to learn JavaFX, I recommend following the tutorial series by thenewboston on YouTube.
