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

Swing is still the preferred way to build heavy-weight, e.g. "Desktop" applications, in Java. If your code is running in a web browser, you will likely use other things. But for freestanding desktop apps, it is quite excellent and in wide use.
