I'm still using Swing in 2022. Change my mind!
Why not seesaw?

Clojure GUI or front-end - what are the options?
seesaw is still viable and runs on swing, which will run everywhere, probably forever. It's a bit closer to the underlying event model than the react style rendering in cljfx.

London Clojurians Talk: Simpler User Interfaces with Membrane (by Adrian Smith)
User Interfaces are brittle, highly coupled, and inflexible. This talk will diagnose some of the root problems that plague user interfaces and show how a different approach can make UI programs dramatically simpler using Membrane (https://github.com/phronmophobic/membrane).

Textual in Clojure?
Closest I can think of is the terminal backend for membrane

Thoughts on Clojure UI framework
It would be cool to see more libraries in this space. I've been working on a similar library, https://github.com/phronmophobic/membrane. If you're not building on top of React, there's a huge untapped design space.

Clojure GUI or front-end - what are the options?
I built membrane for exactly this use case, https://github.com/phronmophobic/membrane. The graphics and event model is pure clojure with support for multiple platforms. Membrane is less mature than some of the other JVM options, but Swing/AWT/JavaFX have their own quirks.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing seesaw and membrane you can also consider the following projects:
cljfx - Declarative, functional and extensible wrapper of JavaFX inspired by better parts of react and re-frame
skija - Java bindings for Skia
HumbleUI - Clojure Desktop UI framework
ClojureDart - Clojure dialect for Flutter and Dart
react-native - A framework for building native applications using React
code3dworld - Learn programming in 3D World
react-native-web - Cross-platform React UI packages
