Common Questions
Pros
Pro Built on top of Swing
Swing has some negative aspects about it - it's complex and difficult. However, it's stable and can stand alone. Seesaw essentially fills in the gaps that Swing leaves. It patches a lot of the workarounds and hacks that are required with Swing, and allows you to use all the benefits of Swing with considerably less code.
