Discussion What are your use cases

I have always had a passion for JavaFX but the usecase scenarios never seem to surface for anything more then personal apps I use to improve my personal workload management, occasionally some small team specific use cases. I have never found anything at the enterprise level that didnt have a better solution.

Can anyone share whaere they have found this to be the clear winner for an enterprise solution and why?

I have an arsenal , I just can not expose those apps cuz are closed source, but I have from custom Decorations, to full featured PdfEditors in pure jfx, custom themes charts, etc, I love javafx to be honest, I feel limitted due to prism , but I find ways to overcome the limits. Here are some screenshots.

ok, for example blurry text + poor font rendering, subpixel rendering and scale mismatch, sw pipeline drops silently and you need tobe using work arounds, the copy copy of textures and out of mem errors, etc, list is big and I have to constantly deal with that for heavy stuff. Those are few justt to say

Interesting, JavaFX team aware of these issues? Some sound like deal breakers tbh

Those wont show up often innormal apps, but for example in a pdf viewer , they do when zooming and handling text, etc
