You're kidding right? I'd argue against that "all platforms" bit. From
what I've seen, java really isn't available on all platforms or even
most platforms and getting it going is significantly more work than
whatever your other favorite toolkit may be. Does it work on linux on
other than x86? NetBSD on sparc64? FreeBSD on PowerPC? I don't know
the answers to those, but I'll bet you don't get a yes for all 3.
I can't say that I've _ever_ been impressed with _any_ java app. But
then again, maybe I used one and didn't realize it.
