I have always said this one. Even worse than the desktop UI libraries are the plethora of web toolkits that universally get it wrong. I have always wondered why Java web was always so dysfunctional. I am very happy that browser based UI's came along and finally created a true alternative to the web frameworks. The funny part is one you stop developing UI's in Java the rest of the offerings are not that bad. I like using Java for rest services and middleware. There is so much available for it that it takes almost no time to set up whole sub systems. Java gets a lot better when you stop trying to develop UI's with Java.

Java bungled the presentation layer
