JavaFX is newer and flashier (pun intended). Arne is right to suggest


Read my experiences. It simply did not work. see
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/javafx.html

It was not that long ago.


Since the page talks about JavaFX Script, then it is obsolete.

Further it has quite limited browser support.


Browsers do not have to support JavaFX at all. Browsers support
a Java plugin. And then it is up to the Java plugin.

And applets are so much out of fashion anyway, that most likely
JavaFX will be more used for desktop apps than for applets.

It is one more package the user has to install.


No.

The JavaFX 2.0 runtime is now in the standard Java distrubution
(only in Oracle, but when talking about non-server usage, then
that is by far the most common).

one developer who wanted a mirror copy of my website to install Java
to deliver it to him. He was terrified of it.


Maybe he was misinformed by someone.
