What library/framework would you recommend for creating a GUI desktop application?
Hi, at some point in the past I used mvvmFX and it was pretty nice to work with, but sadly it looks abandoned. So does drombler-fx which I remember looking into around that time. There was also tornado-fx (don't mind doing GUI code in Kotlin) but that's unmaintained now too. All that I could find today is Griffon, although that's clearly slowing down as well.

Why was TornadoFX abandoned?
And yet, the Kotlin specific bindings for it have seemingly been abandoned, and have not received any updates in years: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx

What are good examples of well written code in Kotlin (e.g HTTP4K)
TornadoFx (JavaFX framework for Kotlin)
- Ask HN: Does Java need a modern Java UI toolkit for desktop/web?
- TornadoFX
- what is the best way of implementing a GUI nowadays?
-
Is TornadoFx should be used in production ?
P.S. Yes, last official release is Java 8. But we all were using the last snapshot of https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/tree/jdk10 published to Sonatype in the last years. Or tornadofx2 linked above.
