Maybe people use Java because they want a solid cross-platform VM

Ditto. Though I'd narrow "cross platform" to non-Microsoft. No hate for MS, but I don't see deploying Windows servers and associated licensing costs any more likely for me than buying Oracle licenses.
So yeah, as a small Ruby shop that was looking at JRuby as a stepping stone to a robust VM, this concerns me.
