Java plug-ins are horrible indeed, unfortunately some entities -
especially business banking - don't get it and still deliver new
applications written for Java-plugins (this happened to us recently, the
original version of the software was HTML and the updated version is in
Java now, it's slow like hell and with all the security leaks around
it's a nightmare to administer people's machines to run dual browser
setups etc.).

For Joe Consumer it's fortunately mostly gone now.
