It's quite simple, really.
My standards are higher than yours.
That is certainly one possibility. The other possibility is that he knows
how to create the GUI's he wants with Swing and you are not able to do so.
It seems pretty silly to be arguing about this without talking about what
you are actually trying to accomplish. You have mentioned Adobe Acrobat's
"Zoom Toolbar". I do not have Acrobat, but I do have Adobe Reader. It
also has a "Zoom Toolbar", and there is certainly nothing there that could
not be done with Swing. There are quite a few components in that toolbar,
so it is unclear what you think cannot be done in Swing.
So if you really have an interest in doing this in Swing, why not tell us
specifically what it is that you are having problems with? I am sure that
someone here would be glad to help you do what you want.
