I have a very big program that is currently using SWT. The program can be run on both Windows, Mac and Linux, and it is a big desktop application with many elements.
Now SWT being somewhat old I would like to switch to either Swing or JavaFX. And I would like to hear your thoughts on three things.
My main concern is what will be better for a desktop GUI application? (I looked online and a lot of people suggest that JavaFX is just as good as Swing, but I didn’t see many valid arguments except simple opinion flame wars). It has to work on both Windows, Mac and some popular Linux distributions.

What will be cleaner and easier to maintain?
-
and what will be faster to build from scratch?
I am using MVC methology in my application, if that is of any help.
