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.

Note: I'm not defending Java nor disagreeing with the statements, I just can't COMPREHEND some of the ABSTRACT BULLSHITE that is going on.

Why is it bad?
Any examples of it done ``right'' (in modern languages preferably)?

Is the client/server disparity common enough for this to be important?

You should learn how /prog/ works and apply that when posting.
Like /prog/'s policy on emoticons, abuse of punctuation and contents of email field (this one applies to vast majority of new /prog/, though).
