"Consider using swing which has much better performance over the old heavyweight awt"

"Its was said that awt is faster than swing as it uses the platform component but due the arrival of faster processor etc .."

"Swing is far better then awt and should be educated to people who is writing gui-based java for the first time"

"Well swing is richer in terms of out-of-the-box components than awt"

"Swing is better and few people remember how to use awt components"

"As far as when awt may be more useful than swing -"

"I find that the swing library is easier to use than awt although you do still have to use awt for listeners"

"I mean by light weight i thought maybe the swing components occupy less memory than the awt components"

"Alternate way is to use awt - which is an older and worse technology than swing and in that case you can t use flowlayout - it puts all the components into one row"

"The awt approach seems closer to bare metal but since jdk 6 brought a lot of improvements in swing rendering pipeline i would go the swing java2d approach"

"I know you re thinking why did i use awt instead of swing but at the moment i am more comfortable with awt"

"Performance swing components are generally slower and buggier than awt due to both the fact that they are pure java and to video issues on various platforms"

"Swing is relatively similar to awt apart from the fact that swing has more capabilities awt is probably the simplest form to start out with and has most if not all of the tools to complete your project hope this helps"

"Swing will save your more time than awt as all the code of components of swing are purely written in java whereas of awt code of components are written in native language that is other than java thus compilation time of awt is more than swing"

"Awt is really out of date people have more experience with swing no days and even javafx"
