title: Apache Pivot 1.4 vs. JavaFX, Flex, Silverlight, Swing
body: <p>I've recently heard about <code>Apache Pivot</code> being moved to the Top Level Projects category and I was wondering who has tried the most recent version and compared it to other RIA tools.  What are the proper categories for comparison? </p>
  
  <p>It seems to be easier to pick up for Java developers since <code>JavaFX</code> has a different scripting language.  The Pivot developers say that Pivot is what Sun should have made instead of JavaFX.</p>
