Java is a FAILED child prodigy
Java promissed so much. But it didn't achieve what it should have achieved. The main problem is with poor implementation of GUI packages.

Currently Java is mainly used to develop dynamic web-sites, which should not be primary application. You can develop very quickly with PHP. Web-site developed using Java (JSP) are much slower and testing web surfer's patience. I really hate to visit such web-site.

Java has huge potential as desktop GUI s/w development platform. However due to poor implementation, you can use Java to develop commercial s/w. After the lawsuit against Microsoft, I think most developers turned to Visual Basic and VC++, away from Java. In
hindsight, the lawsuit was the tragedy for Java. Otherwise, Bill Gate could turn Java into really powerful development platform. What a pitty for Java and its developers (which includes me).
