I know about JavaFX, but I have strong requirements: It must look good, not roughly on linux, windows and macOx. Does JavaFX work fine on each of this platforms? And which a big troubles can I find in using JavaFX?

Eclipse's SWT should definitely be considered. It supports all three platforms mentioned and IMO is nicer to use than Swing.

I'm using FX in desktop development. It's great, but far away from being perfect. Also there's no Linux version at this moment, as for Mac, it's only beta 2.1 (which i'm using right now). The biggest thing that annoys me is freezes. U can download visual editor right here

BTW Gosling belives that FX would become more usefull in desktop dev than in RIA development
