Why should a developer use Java instead of C# and .NET?
Deployment control.
Since Java is now open-source, you are free to redistribute specific
Java versions that match with your application.
With .Net, Microsoft reserves the right to obsolete any/all libraries at
any time.
Do *not* underestimate the problems caused because some moron believed
Microsoft and just installed .Net version x+1 and broke your app which
only works with version x.
And, personally, I really can't tell the difference between a native
Windows app and a Java app with SWT (see Eclipse, for example).
