New Desktop Java sucks
AWT and Swing have sucked stellar matter since their inception. Java sucks for desktop applications. Certainly wouldn't want to write multiple, database-based applications in Delphi or C++, though.
Matthew Greet


Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
- Mark Renton, Trainspotting.
New Oh, I dunno
Certainly wouldn't want to write multiple, database-based applications in Delphi or C++, though.

Not exactly sure about what you mean by "multiple", but Delphi (and tis kissin-cousin C++ Builder) was basically designed to write database apps in. And since both have been morphed to target both Linux and Windows with the same source....
