They offer quite a bit of power in exchange for the danger.  A steak  
knife can be dangerous, but I would greatly prefer it over a butter  
knife if I am eating a steak.  :)

I also believe some Java security flaws can be just as difficult to  
figure out.  Some aren't, but why would secure code review be such a  
challenge if it was so easy?
