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.

What does Java do better than Python?
I still like it 🤷♀️ The property system is excellent and if you use a framework on top of it (I prefer mvvmFX), it's a breeze to build some quite complex stuff.

Help with structure and switching scenes
I'd recommend using some kind of framework, personally I like mvvmFX

How to use JavaFX to monitor a model (running in a background thread)?
I think the MVVM pattern is the one you are looking for. Take a look at this framework that implements it in javafx https://github.com/sialcasa/mvvmFX

Design Patterns for multi-screen JavaFX applications
I would recommend using a Framework such as mvvmFX. Using such a framework coupled with a DI framework like Guice (for which mvvmFX has native support) lends itself very well to a complex UI build out of multiple views, stiched together either by using fx:include or views loaded programatically with it's FluentViewLoader, with data shared via Scopes and Repository classes injected into the ViewModels. I would highly recommend not using stock JavaFX for anything complicated.

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.

Design Patterns for multi-screen JavaFX applications
If you are willing to consider Kotlin targeting JVM instead of pure Java, I would definitely recommend you to take a look at tornadofx. I have experience with both frameworks (mvvmfx and tornadofx), and I prefer the latter.
What are some alternatives?
reduxfx - Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) for JavaFX
compose-multiplatform - Compose Multiplatform, a modern UI framework for Kotlin that makes building performant and beautiful user interfaces easy and enjoyable.
