 				<li>Replace generics with a cleaner solution.</li>
 				<li>Remove static imports.</li>
 				<li>Remove lambda expressions.</li>
-				<li>Make a decent Swing <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/">look and feel</a> that supports <code>apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar</code>.</li>
 			</ul>
 
 			<p>There is no need for backward compatibility.  People who want that can just use Java 8 as is.  The fork is for reactionary programmers who are actively writing code, so the fork should be as clean as possible.</p>

+			<h1>Swing Look and Feel</h1>
+
+			<p>All existing <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/">Swing Look and Feels</a> are horrible.  A good look and feel would:</p>
+
+			<ul>
+				<li>Have no white space around components.  The layout manager should handle this.</li>
+				<li>Support <code>apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar</code>.</li>
+				<li>When a text component loses focus, the selection should not disappear and the cursor should just stop blinking.</li>
+				<li>Have a good reactionary (non-flat) aesthetic.</li>
+			</ul>
+
+			<p>You can read about my struggles with look and feels in this <a href="https://chatgpt.com/share/67fd89eb-872c-8013-ae98-653c99b9bc3c">ChatGPT thread</a>.  A reactionary look and feel is badly needed.</p>
