Why Java is going to succeed on the client side
It seems like the trend is on AJAX technologies. We are developing rich client applications using HTML, Java Script, and communicating to the server using XML. Those applications are running inside a browser... it sounds way too much like what the Applets of 1995-96 where promising back then. It feels like a Dejavu.

I believe Swing is a pretty superior toolkit. It has its own set of problems but after the release of Mustang, nothing that I consider to be a deal breaker. Especially since I don't work with multi media a lot.

I guess the scoffers above might realize this as soon as they throw away their free academic versions MS Express or do some actual coding as opposed to those high-productivity screencasts. You know what I am talking about.
