Sorry, I thought it was quite self-evident, although probably mostly for people having to use this technology. I don't want to get into flame wars or extensive argumentation but from my personal experience dealing with Java in the past, both from the application user's side as well as development side has been such a pain. It was a complete bloatware package, slow and ugly, RAM hungry, disk I/O hungry. Even the java.com website is ugly as hell and not changed during the last 15 years. Doesn't really increase confidence for improved experience.

You could replace java with website development and it would probably still be true. I suppose the tense also needs to change. Lets try it:

I think that fits!

I think it depends on the developer more than the platform.

On the enterprise side, I've seen a lot of hot garbage. But I've also seen a lot of good stuff.

DBVisualizer, while not having the prettiest interface, is a pretty fast and functional application built on Java.

"Java bad" is the best you're going to get, I'm guessing.

Looks like a pretty handy tool IMO, and Java beats Electron for me, so not sure what the issue is.

I find electron apps generally look and interact better... though this app looks decent. I've been using the Remote SSH extension for VS Code as a remote editor across ssh, which has worked phenominally well for me.
