What is the most user-friendly way to make a GUI app in Kotlin? I heard that JavaFX was removed from the default JDK, and it means another step for the user, so what should I use?
d
JavaFX was removed from the JDK, so you can now bundle it with your application.

Hmm, how should I do it? For example, I want to make a fat jar that targets Java 8 (the most installed version). How can I bundle JavaFX in it?

Check out Gluon HQ's documentation. Also, check out #C136UUPE1.
