Have others found fx to be a useful interface/ an improvement?

We are also unable to open the SmartDashboard on one the team computers, it seems to be trying to open a file in the wrong file path, and we're trying to fix that right now.

Do you have any links for SmartDashboardFX?!?! I would love to use it!

I fixed it!

I reinstalled Java which made the SmartDashboard and SmartDashboardFX work however Eclipse no longer worked after that ...

But then I changed the configuration settings for Eclipse to point to the right directory and everything worked and I lived happily ever after.
