jxclient was (is probably still) considered experimental (no map2 support, I 
think) since not so long ago (a few days/weeks), so yes it isn't mentioned. 
But even in its current state I much prefer the interface :) (your mileage 
may vary, of course)

And I suggest you do a small experiment: find a Windows computer, and try to 
build the GTK1 client there :) You'll see it isn't that easy ^_-
(and I'm not even sure it does work on Macs...)

cd to jxclient directory, then 'ant' to build it. Then 'java -jar 
jxclient.jar' to run it (full screen mode by default, add -N to make it 
windowed).

See first point, experimental. But I do hope it'll soon be in good shape, 
thanks to Ragnor's work, and usable :)
