Please no. Pan is nice and snappy and responsive, and works reasonably
well even in relatively low-end machines with not a lot of memory. The
last thing we want is to pair a fast, snappy engine with a UI that
takes forever to start up, looks hideous, requires vast amounts of
memory, and ends up clomping around with lead boots squashing
everything in it's path. Separation of the back-end from the front-end
is a perfectly sensible idea. It's only the use of Java as the default
front-end which I object to.
