The replacement is supposed to be JavaFX, but that’s not included in JREs – anymore! It used to be, now it’s not, even though it’s well over 15 years old now.
This whole thing (“Java GUIs”) appears to have stagnated a lot. Probably because everything is web stuff these days …

Fun fact, during a semester break I was actually a little bored, so I just started reading the Qt documentation. I didn't plan on using Qt for anything, though. I only looked at the docs because they were on my bucket list for some reason. Qt was probably recommended to me and coming from KDE myself, that was motivation enough to look at the docs just for fun.
The more I read, the more hooked I got. The documentation was extremely well written, something I've never seen before. The structure was very well thought out and I got the impression that I understood what the people thought when they actually designed Qt.
A few days in I decided to actually give it a real try. Having never done anything in C++ before, I quickly realized that this endeavor won't succeed. I simply couldn't get it going. But I found the Qt bindings for Python, so that was a new boost. And quickly after, I discovered that there were even KDE bindings for Python in my package manager, so I immediately switched to them as that integrated into my KDE desktop even nicer.
I used the Python KDE bindings for one larger project, a planning software for a summer camp that we used several years. It's main feature was to see who is available to do an activity. In the past, that was done on a large sheet of paper, but people got assigned two activities at the same time or weren't assigned at all. So, by showing people in yellow (free), green (one activity assigned) and red (overbooked), this sped up and improved the planning process.
Another core feature was to generate personalized time tables (just like back in school) and a dedicated view for the morning meeting on site.
It was extended over the years with all sorts of stuff. E.g. I then implemented a warning if all the custodians of an activitiy with kids were underage to satisfy new the guidelines that there should be somebody of age.
Just before the pandemic I started to even add support for personalized live views on phones or tablets during the planning process (with web sockets, though). This way, people could see their own schedule or independently check at which day an activity takes place etc. For these side quests, they don't have to check the large matrix on the projector. But the project died there.
Here's a screenshot from one of the main views: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/k3man.png

As for Visual Basic, I only had to use VBA once in my life. That was in the beginning of my career when I inherited a project from a leaving coworker. Fuck me, was that awful. Just alone the damn compiler error dialog box popping up in my face all the time while editing and the compiler already trying to parse the unfinished and hence of course uncompilable code. Boy, that left a lasting impression on me. I ported everything to Java very quickly. Luckily, the code base wasn't all that large at that point in time. I had to add a bunch of new features after that, so I was very glad that I convinced my workmate/project manager to do that first. We didn't even need a GUI, the button in Excel was transformed to a command line program that just generated the large file.
But I cannot comment on the VB GUI designer, I never used that. Your screenshot looks very similar to the Delphi one, though. Only towards the end of my Delphi days I found out about the possibility to make the widgets snap to window edges and corners (I don't remember how that was called), so that resizing the windows was actually possible without messing up their entire contents.
Switching to Linux, Delphi wasn't an option anymore. For some reason I couldn't use Kylix. Maybe it was already dead by the time I changed OSes. Or I couldn't get it to run. I just don't remember. I just recall that the unavailability of Delphi was the reason it took me a while to actually settle on Linux. I then fully switched to Java. The
GridBagLayout was my absolutely favorite Swing layout manager. I reckon I used it 98% of the time, because it was so powerful and made the windows resize properly, just as I had learned to do in Delphi shortly before.Up until discovering Swing, I used Java's AWT for a short amount of time. That was very limited I think and I hit the limits fairly quickly. Later at uni, we had one project making use of SWT. Didn't convince me either. I could be wrong, but I think there was also a SWT GUI designer plugin for Eclipse. If there really was, that one wasn't in the same street as Delphi's (there must be a reason I forgot about it ;-)).
But let me clarify just in case: I honestly do *not* want to bash this project. In fact, it's a great little invention. It's just that I'm not conviced by the current user interface decisions. Anyway, web design isn't right up my alley. I just wanted to add some fun. And luckily, at least someone liked it so far. :-)
There was a time when I thought that Swing was actually really good. But having done some Qt/KDE later, I realized how much better that was. That were the late KDE 3 and early KDE 4 days, though. Not sure how it is today. But back then it felt Trolltech and the KDE folks put a hell lot more thought into their stuff. I was pleasantly surprised how natural it appeared and all the bits played together. Sure, there were the odd ends, but the overall design was a lot better in my opinion.
To be fair, I never used it from C++, always the Python bindings, which were considerably more comfortable (just alone the possibility to specify most attributes right away as kwargs in the constructor instead of calling tons of setters). And QtJambi, the Java binding, was also relatively nice. I never did a real project though, just played around with the latter.
> The one for Delphi was quite good.
It was! I didn’t use Delphi for long, though. Dunno why, I always gravitated towards Visual Basic back then. 😅
> These days I don't deal with GUI programming anymore.
I also avoid it when possible, because … it’s exhausting, because … the tools that I have/know are “subpar”. Doing anything regarding GUIs always feels like a chore. That wasn’t the case in the VB days.
Well, I made this in ~2009 with Java/Swing and it was pretty nice to work with, custom widgets and all:
https://movq.de/v/de26d5edb3/s.png
I wouldn’t dare doing this with GTK.~
I reckon the
white-space: nowrap is a bit evil on the gatherly notes, though.
(When I switched to Linux, I quickly got stuck with GTK and that only had Glade, which wasn’t super great at the time, so I didn’t start using it … and then I never questioned that decision …)

I’m not quite sold yet on the idea of “immediate mode” GUIs. 🤔
