The Java promise was 'write once, run anywhere' and it didn't happen


Uh? There are far, far more applications written in Java that happily run
on Windows, Linux and Mac without a change to a single line of code than
OS-specific Java applications.

Exactly. Adding to this, one problem is UI fidelity. UI fidelity (which, BTW, the mentioned "full screen" button on Mac OS X) proves to be a hard point, indeed, but this is sensible only for end users. Functions, though, can be implemented without a strong UI fidelity.
