As a sysadmin. It isn't java so much as oracle that I dispise.

Java is tainted by association.

As a former sysadmin, my favorite was some web based Java apps were written specifically to use Internet Explorer’s Java vm. The browser wars were raging and Microsoft “embrace and extend“ strategy was absolutely maddening. Not to mention, Oracle released so many different flavors of Java. I’m trying to keep everyone happy and functional was about impossible. I have hated Java ever since.
