My JavaFX Christmas Wishlist

[David Alayachew]

My bigger question is asking what you lose by having AWT in JavaFX. Is
there something fundamentally problematic about it that its removal would
solve/alleviate a problem?

Whereas on the other hand, AWT has some very useful libraries that are in
use by nearly all Java GUI frameworks. For example, if you want to do
anything really complex with 2D Image work, you will inevitably end up
using java.awt.BufferedImage. It's simple, but very fast.
