compared to Java SWING, they are a toy. You really can't be serious
to compare what you can do with Swing compared to tcl/tk, are you?

really? tell us then how well you design a full GUI with pull down
menus, file dialogs, tree structures, wizards, drag/drop, 2D, 3D,
animation, etc.. with just HTML tags in a browser?

you are confusing presentation of static data, with having an interactive
user interface.
The ability to have powerfull GUI that is portable is very important.
right now, there are win32, Swing, and the rest lesser able technologies
such as gtk, qt, tcl/tk and the rest.
Java offers the best solution as it is portable, very rich in functionality
and well defined and dcoumented, and full support in the industry from
every one, expect MS of course, since it is not in the interest of MS
for Java to successed. But Java is by all account a success so far and
continues to improve.
best,
Mitch.
