why does java suck?

I've noticed in the short time I've been reading this board that there's a lot of java bashing, so I was wondering why people actually think it is so bad. I'm no java fan, but I've used it for some stuff before and it didn't seem terrible to me. An argument used to be that it runs slow as a guro-fied loli, but they've improved a lot in that aspect.

Please give good reasons, rather than stuff like "it's for certified professional consultants" or whatever you guys say.

i'm >>9. just to reiterate. no single programming language sucks it all serve some purpose. those who dismisses java will never build anything awesome/fun/exciting. real c programmers know better. there is a time and place for everything.
