It is frustrating. Enough of these disappointments and setbacks would make me tempted to want to work with something else sometimes yet the problem remains that the alternatives still have issues. Features get into .Net in a timely manner but then developing with that introduces lots of political problems. Go to C/C++? It is moving more slowly than Java and not very productive. Objective-C? Quirky and showing its age. I don't know, I get fed up with the Java leadership promising much and then failing to deliver or repeatedly under-delivering on what was promised. However moaning about it is not likely to change anything. Oracle isn't going to listen.
