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.

Java is only hard because of 1 thing) OOP. The very fact you made that point means you don't know programming. OOP is made so that things are object oriented. In design, when you use objects, it's easier to program things and reuse. The point of OOP is that the initial difficulty in programming pays off later. You want slow? make a C GUI program. That's right, no such thing as a GUI since you have to make one yourself. Java sucks because the way Java runs itself is slow. If you were to use port C to have what Java has, I would be using C right now.
