No, no! It's not yet another flame war. I was referring to weight of JRE
and browser plugins and it's imperfections. I don't care about language
itself. If people like it's syntax it's theirs decision. But please Java
lovers answer me why am I having problems running Java applets like
internet banking in my Firefox on Fedora if it's so superior and very
well supported environment? I agree that Java environment is good for
academic usage but I don't buy it as a dumb computer user.
