I don't have any idea how maintained it is now but it used to work.

11/14/2020, 9:41 AMThanks, Stephen. There are few merges of pull requests from 2018 and in April 2019.
Since I'm thinking of dropping TornadoFX from my project, I'll try and see how it actually is to just use JavaFX directly in Kotlin.
Thanks for the pointer, though, I didn't know it existed.

11/14/2020, 1:02 PM@melatonina I just tried to start a new project on usually JavaFX, well, I don't want to write code anymore, since there are no convenient builders. It's okay to do UI with FXML, but the kotlin controller doesn't look pretty.
There may also be problems with creating forms, there are libraries, but I didn't really like them.
Same thing with validation
