Is Apache Pivot a suitable alternative to Swing?

I look at Apache Pivot and I wonder if it is ready to be a Swing replacement (given that Swing and SwingX development is so slow that it is almost inactive).

Has anyone tried this? Do you know about any drag-and-drop GUI designer for RAD with Apache Pivot?

Thanks.

Apache Pivot is not a good GUI tool. I tried this, and I spent several hours retaining the potential they are talking about, however, finally I built the interface from scratch without any tools.

I would suggest WindowBuilder. I successfully worked with him, in another, huge desktop software. Of course, this is my opinion, but I have some experience creating a GUI, especially in Swing. To be clear, I am not related to software, and this is not advertising, this tool just works!

It is possible to create a good desktop GUI with Apache Pivot. Of course, I come to Pivot almost a year after Lincoln Pompermeier, so I'm sure that Pivot has improved.

Apache Pivot needs a good tutorial for people to understand how to use it. Since Pivot is open source, I can just write this tutorial myself.

I have never used a GUI builder. I wrote all my Swing GUIs by hand, and I will probably write all my Pivot GUIs by hand.
