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.

Yes, java is used embedded in a lot of harware (which include satellites). But there is usually no GC (or a very small version of it).

Read my previous answer you fucking idiot.

Yes it does, that's why companies use it, otherwise they would use another language.

Blame Sun for their shitty implementation, not the language.
