Do you guys include mobile when you say "desktop"? 'Cause there's still
Android, which is likely to be around for a while. I saw that Gluon,
which apparently took over JavaFX's Scene Builder development,
advertises uniform GUIs for both desktop sensu strictu and mobile
(Android as well as iOS).

If that is, or were to become, a working reality, it would likely make
Java GUIs a longer term thing.
