Why are we still using Java for these kinds of solutions today?

Can you elaborate on that? Then I can better respond to your specific points on why it shouldn't be used

Well, it would necessitate a dedicated conversation. In my opinion, there are better languages and runtimes available today to create such solutions, such as Go and Rust, to name a couple of the most suitable ones.

I believe Java is no longer an appealing choice for these types of tools, but I still like the project and its development process.

why not? cross platform, lots of ui toolkits, huge ecosystem of packages and tools.

tbh java is a perfect choice for a tool like this. building it in rust or go would take 10x the time.
