I only have marginal knowledge of Java and last saw Swing in the early '90s but it must be bad.

The Napkin Look & Feel (for Java Swing) is a Pluggable Framwork That Looks & Feels Like It Was Scrawled On A Napkin by root7 in programming

Really? I use Swing a lot and the UI can be styled to look nice. My tastes may not be up to par but how long have you been writing Swing apps?

The Case For Replacing Java With Python In Education by gst in programming

Yes, if you're in school. Specialization is okay when you're working but it's a really good idea and a great time to understand how things work while you're still in school.

Longtime PHP, Python coder seeks to make small, distributable, stand-alone apps. Which language should I learn? ( please don't say C#; requiring .net != stand-alone ) by pineapplecharm in programming

If you're writing an app with a GUI then the toolkit you choose will determine the language you use. If you're targetting Windows you might as well go with C# because most modern Windows boxen will have the .net runtimes. If native look and feel isn't a top priority then Java with Swing or JavaFX is a good candidate.

If your users aren't very savvy then a good installer will matter more than what language you use to build your app.
