Salon.com Technology | Java: Slow, ugly and irrelevant
While I do my work in Java now, I'm not particularly partisan about computer issues anymore; and while I like some elements of Java, it's not a perfect language. (Neither are any of the other languages I've worked with over the years, from BASIC in all of its forms or C, or C++, or the statistical languages I worked on in college. So I think looking at its strengths and weaknesses are interesting.
(And I haven't written a lot of heavy-duty UI intensive applications in Java, most of my work has been primarily UI free or servlet based. )
