What? That's not true. "Most Java devs" (that I know) prefer Linux and primarily utilize OpenJDK for development. (Deployment is a mess left to other people).

Really? No one uses Linux? And you're talking about Java and JVMs? That just looks silly.

I only develop on Linux, think you got confused by the way I phrased it. I meant that hardly anyone uses the OpenJDK package, not that hardly anyone uses Linux.

I'm (among other things) a Linux Java dev, and for what is worth from my anecdotal point of view, neither me nor anyone I know users OpenJDK. Both development and deployments happens with Oracle stuff.
