Sane documentation. It's been ten years since I've used Java, but Sun's Java API documentation was lightyears ahead of what MS was offering. Both in terms of layout/navigation and in actual content.

I am not a big fan of Java and have not touched it in many years, but I agree the documentation was really, really good.

Java' documentation as I remember it is still better than Microsoft's.

I really prefer Scala as my current JVM language. The language is way ahead of Java, but the documentation is a little mind-stabbing .. as is the syntax .. and implicits.
