I hated Swing the bit that I worked with it.. but I'm always blown away when I see the Jetbrains IDE's in the wild (I'm a VS Code guy but a few people I work with prefer the Jetbrains stuff). They managed to make a really slick, and pretty performant (if you ignore startup time) app with it.
I guess you could say VS Code is a similar exception to the rule in Electron land.
Oof. Yeah MFC was something else.
