I would absolutely *love* to see WO go back to Objective-C. WO
started out Objective-C and it was perfect for anyone who already
had Objective-C frameworks and wanted to utilize them on their web
site. Then they added Java support alongside Objective-C, then they
dropped Objective-C altogether.
For the first year or two after it moved to Java I would have agreed
with you. Now with all the Java libraries available, I am quite
content in Java-land. A lessor language (IMO) but a larger universe.

Although it makes my life increasingly more difficult, I can see
why they did it and I would hazard a guess that they won't ever go
back. At the time Java was as hot as Ruby is now and I'm sure the
decision was based upon trying to get more market share. Since
they've already ported from Objective-C to Java, I doubt they'll
port back to Objective-C . . . unless, that is, they are still
maintaining their own Objective-C version and decide to release
it. That seems like a lot of work, though.
