We currently develop a commercial package entirely in java under linux,
deploying on NT and Win95 for the most part (with one deployment to an Alpha
running Digital Unix). Works great; stability is good, "ease of use" is of
course entirely subjective but I find Linux easier to develop under than
Win32. I don't use an IDE, so consider that in your evaluation.
We've been doing the java thing for almost two years now, and 1.0 shipped
more than a year ago (I'm coding 2.1 as I write). Only 8 customers so far,
but at $50-$80K apiece not a bad living. :-)
So yeah, there are issues, but it works for us and I'm loving it. Cheers to
the porting team.
