While we're on the topic of ranting... I find pretty much most/all of Swing to be a nightmare to code with.
1) The API is full of inconsistent quirks not explained in the Javadoc. I almost always turn to http://exampledepot.com/ to figure out how to do stuff because it isn't obvious from the code.
2) The code is a big spaghetti mess with undocumented dependencies. Fixing Swing bugs or trying to extend the classes is a total nightmare.
Swing might be a great improvement over earlier APIs but I think it's time to refactor it: simplify the API, make it more consistent and clean up the implementation. There are literally thousands of Swing bugs that will never get fixed because of the state of the current code.
