Happy for you.
Sysadmin for 15 years here though, Java was always a problem. The version wasn't always the worst bit, but it was always an exercise in frustration.
Mostly security controls to blame, but I have had so many issues across so many systems that I cannot stand by and let you claim this is FUD about Java.
the .NET applets are also a problem (because who has a compatible IE version?), but they worked more consistently than the Java ones back in the day.
The HTML5 ones are the only ones that seem to work consistently; but that could be a biased as HTML5 is much newer, so BMCs implementing that might be updated with more regularity. (or be more modern hardware)
