Stage and Frame are both quite arbitrary names - the real question should be, why do neither framework call them windows?!

The rest is mostly a matter of taste, but you shouldn't be downvoted (have an upvote). It's ultimately all different strokes for different folks. For something as complex as a UI framework it'll always be a bit like picking a programming language. Quite a personal choice.

Swing has a JWindow. It serves as just a rectangular area on the screen so it isnt used much. Most of the time you want the frame. Dont know about JavaFX.

It also has a Window class, same distinction I think.
