Many bank / credit sites use it.
In Korea most banks require ActiveX. (there was an article about that
recently... ah, thanks google:
http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/24/south-korea-warns-against-willy-nilly-vista-upgrades/)
If my bank used Java in its application, I would switch bank (not
kidding either).
Actually I would prefer the security of Java over ActiveX (and flash)
anyday.
Flash (though probably never open source) is required. Though 90% of
sites just use it for annoying ads or intro screens :(
