4 years after, I still don't understand!

Why does everyone hate Java so much?

To me it seems like it's got it's strengths and weakness like any other language.

I'm aware of it's weakness but I don't think that the amount of hatred upon the whole language is justified.

...I dont hate any language =)

I think the world would be a much better place if we could just tolerate each other's tastes... =)

...Some like Java, some prefer C... Others might love lisp... =D
