I mourn the golden years of Java, when it was nice and simple, the weapon of a Java Knight, not as clumsy or as random as VB, an elegant language for a more civilized age... for over a thousand successful projects the Java Knights were the guardians of readability and sanity in the old code repository... before the dark times... before the complexifiers took over.

Actually, Java has been getting better with annotations, etc. Java EE 6 is also a huge improvement over Java2EE. That said, I still use Ruby, Lisp, Clojure much more often, but Java is good also for some types of applications.
