If you're speaking from experience, then I'd be interested to
hear exactly what it is you've encountered that leads you to
this view of Java.  My experience so far has been contrary to
that.

Automatically assuming that the reason others don't happen to
share your view is due to their lack of experience, just shows
that you are full of conceit.
