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.

Did you ever start a JVM and watch it consume all your available memory?

Other than that, you should know that humans are unreasonable creatures that do not always follow the path of logic.
