You had to write alot of code to what you wanted to do. Other tools kits
have a mixture of models and I think that is a good think. I don't one needs
to write all that in *all* cases.

It may be good academic design, doesn't mean it's always good in practice.
If you're up against the clock on a contract job the last thing you want is
to start fiddling with model-view controllers. Note that swing is
not the most popular gui tool kit in the world either. In fact the mode
popular gui tools in the world do not use MVC, or other they give you the
option.

I believe that if you confine the mono gui tools to model-view you'll loose
a lot of potential developers.
