Not really a nice comment but a real issue?

Hi

I actually totally disagree with his conclusion.

In fact, I'd say, that's one of the hidden gems of JavaFX!
Check out CSSFX and this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RELKg32xEWU
to understand the advantages of this feature (ScenicView has also
integrated CSSFX to take advantage of this).

Think about the productivity boost of tweaking your UI at runtime and not
having to go through the cycle: tweak UI -> compile -> run -> (No that's
not it) -> close app -> tweak UI again -> compile again -> run again -> (No
that's not it again) -> [repeat till infinity]

Also think about the potential for adding tools that build on top of this
feature. Tools like firebug or features from Chrome developer tools, etc,
that they use on the web to debug / tweak UIs during runtime.

Cheers,
