Great that JavaFX is not dead yet. I still use it for hobby projects e.g. apps that communicate with Arduino or MIFARE card readers via serial ports.

Ad 2024 the framework is seriously behind any other commercial GUI be it WPF or Qt. I found the SceneBuilder to be highly unstable, crashing often several times during development.

The idea to use CSS for styling is not bad, but there is absolutely no autocomplete in IntelliJ Community for it. Makes writing it hard. There is a JavaFX plugin for Eclipse but it looks abandoned.

All in all it works when you need to put a simple GUI for your hobby project but I would not recommend it for any serious app.
