If Swing is deprecated, what is the alternative?

Question

I heard that apparently Swing is being developed no longer. I like Swing and use it all the time.

What should I now be using instead?

For reference, AWT & Swing have been moved to java.desktop since Java SE 9. You can watch for future changes here. JavaFX (added to JDK since 8) was removed from the official JDK in Java 11. So its hard to say what is "official" anymore. However JavaFX's development has increased since the decoupling, with its new home here.
