No. Every sysadmin I've ever met, and every system engineer I've ever met for that matter, hates Java. "Developers" love it.

I'm thinking that Java failed to deliver on the promise of "write once, run anywhere". Java programs developed on Windows do not, up to this present day, work on Solaris; it's a revision dependency hell - for example, Java 1.6.whatever broke Azaureus; Legato NetWorker front end busts with Java 1.5.0 even though it says it should work and "to ignore the warning". Java is SLOW. Look at the Tomcat JSP mess. The whole thing is a disgrace. And the biggest winners, or sinners: - Except with GCJ, Java can't be compiled to machine code, and even with GCJ, the process is complex - Java is COMPLICATED even for the simplest of tasks "public static void main" - was "papa Gosling" on LSD taking a "trip" when he was designing the syntax of the language? Bonus: looky looky, Java needs TONS of RAM. So, if that's me "laying an egg in public", yes, that's right, I'll stand up and be the first to say it publicly, and hopefully, someday I'll get the opportunity to say it right to Gosling's face: Java sucks dead bunnies through a bent straw sideways!
