I know that outside the "Java bubble" less advanced platforms are often good enough (BTW, while Java's GC ergonomics are getting better, I agree there may be more of a paradox of choice issue, but while you may not need to touch any knobs, you're also not getting low-overhead, deep production profiling and many of the other amazingly useful things you get with Java), and even inside the Java bubble we don't think Java is always the best choice for everything, but that doesn't mean that Java isn't leading in technological innovation, which was my main point.
