Certainly not lightning fast, but that has more to do with the way we've chosen to implement a few things than anything inherent to java.That *is* a common complaint. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Again, nothing to do with java, but with the fact that, well, most of us developer-type persons just don't have much talent at graphical layout. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I will say that I have certainly seen uglier applications, and that if one chooses the Kunststoff 'look & feel' (pcgen is skinnable, see the docs I've linked to below) I think it looks rather nice. But then, I *am* one of the developers, and thus probably shouldn't be trusted to give opinions on this. (Of *course* my baby is the prettiest in the world. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />See above. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Hmm. I must admit I have no idea how to find the screenshots, but as I do know one link to them, here it is:<a href="http://rpg.plambert.net/pcgen/doc/screenshots/" target="_blank">http://rpg.plambert.net/pcgen/doc/screenshots/</a>Or, to see them in the context of the manual they are part of, follow this link and click on the 'walkthrough':<a href="http://rpg.plambert.net/pcgen/doc/Index.htm" target="_blank">http://rpg.plambert.net/pcgen/doc/Index.htm</a>I don't know if I've disproved them, but I hope I've given you enough information to make up your mind./Jonas</blockquote>
