Java is slow and the interface is always ugly and doesn't fit
into the window manager etc. you are used to. :-P I never understood
why I would use Java to write software when I could use C(++) or
when a script language would do.  The simple fact that people have
2 or 3 GHz doesn't mean that I have to burn them for nothing.
The only point may be portability. Do I miss something?
