I have the same problem with Java as I have with flash, when it comes to the webs. If you don't have java/flash enabled on your browser at times you are limited, to where you can go because of bad web development. When you have the plugins enabled you have to wait for the useless application and the plugin to download and load, something which could have been better developed in server side script, and would download a hell of a lot quicker. I can see the advantages in Java but I don't think it should have been taken to the web. Sun just marketed Java badly it could have killed c/c++, and most other languages, due to it's portability. This is just me and I think java had it's day. Perl rules ;)
