Lackluster JavaFX support for real applications - no textareas?

I had to navigate to the link above just to get a simple textarea to work in JavaFX like the ones you use to edit large amounts of data in web applications.

If Java FX can't even supply a native component for a TextArea in a PRODUCTION release, how can they support people trying to actually build real applications beyond "flying pixels" on the screen.

I am shocked and appalled by this. Larry now that you're doing the thinking for sun, either make JavaFx a real application platform or throw it in the trash.

Don't even get me started on JavaFX Script - that is a rant for another day.
