"there is NO reason to stop using java" ????

The last thing any quality developer should be doing is selling and
promoting a platform that is inherently dysfunctional in the "very near
future", unless of course you bill your clients to re-engineer their
applications to recomply with ever changing standards.

I think we have a responsibility to gaze into the "very near future" and
glean the expected landscape and develop to support it.  Windows X/IE6 is
launching in the next 4 months, max.  When it hits it will garner 20%+
market share fairly quickly.  We banter back and forth on weather we should
turn our backs on a browser with 3/10 of a single percent penetration and
"knowningly" develop and sell solutions today that will be significantly
disfunctional in 3-5 months?

Personally, I strongly disagree.  Show your value to your client by
demonstrating the ability to map the future and carve solutions that, as
gracefully as possible, carry them over the rough edges without causing a
lose of services to "their clients"!
