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.

Just to make it quick:
- Half assed OO approach (no multiple inheritance, no operator overloading, ...)
- No structured programming support
- Verbose syntax
- Shitty lists compared to other modern languages
- Anal typing

and most of all...

- An insane, overgeneralised, overengineered, blOOated, terrible API that manages to make the simplest things require the usage of a factory class to create an object which works with a new buffer object which requires a printer object which implements- shit sux fag. Argh, how I hate this bullshit. The Java API is shit. Try doing anything serious with it. You'll find you have to instantiate several classes of insanity and read the docs for 15 minutes while walking through a mile of hierarchical insanity just for the simplest of things. Sure, the API implements quite a bit of stuff. But it does so so BADLY, you'll want to do all that by hand if you can.
