I have had my share of Linux, windows, and OS X. Currently I use OS X for the majority of my daily tasks but I am not dogmatic about it. I like all of them and think they are all good in their own ways. Right now the scale tips a bit to OS X but it could go any way.
I have programmed in all three environments professionally and I know many different programming languages at least well enough to build a basic GUI.
I say that to preface what I am about to say... Java is not the worst language I have used but it's up there. I was a professional c# programmer back when it was in its 1.1 days and now I have revisited it for another professional project and it has improved to the point where I wish it was native on the Mac and on Linux without mono. It's what c++ should have been.
Edit... I have used java quite a bit and it's a terrible language.
