I think a bigger change is the JVM and .Net don't suck so much now. There are interesting languages like Scala and Groovy on the JVM and frameworks like Play and MVC on .Net that make development less painful.

Frankly, JVM hasn't really sucked since it got a JIT compiler (J2SE 1.2, 1998) or if you prefer the switch to HotSpot as the default VM (J2SE 1.3, 2000).
