It is still not done and production ready. The JavaFX project has been around for quite some time now, and it is still not done. It does not seem to be even remotely close to production quality. It just stays unfinished. Meanwhile, Adobe has great success with the flex framework. Microsoft is pushing its silverlight technology, and will prevail on the Microsoft-minded and VisualStudio-triaged developers soon. But what does Sun and Java has to match up with? The unfinished JavaFX!

 Several problems almost invariably occur as applications become more complex that force the development of an architecture that decouples communication event handlers from the user interface: a straightforward solution is to create a model layer that’s responsible for notifying interested user interface components about data updates.

It's a rational enough concern. After all, Flash built its success on "ease of use." Some 11 years ago, the tagline on the Flash 2 box read: "The Easiest Way to Create Fast Web Multimedia." Originally, Flash was purpose-built for people who wanted to make things move without years of animation training, or who wanted to create interactivity and programmatic behavior without a degree in computer science. A decade of loyalty later, those same people—call them the "everyday Flashers"—are now wondering how, or even if, they fit into Adobe's new platform strategy.
