Bloody swing is a pile of dog bullocks, the only thing that makes it bearable is that it's easier to use than what came before it.

I found it easier to just learn the Java2D drawing prims, register for all the events, and do everything (drawing, event dispatch, etc) myself. It was the only way to get decent performance I think. But I also agree with Bryce's assertion that linking protocol to type is a stupid carryover from C++. Java blows on a lot of levels.
