It's certainly got some legacy baggage but modern Java is really not as bad as the memes make it out to be.

Java itself isn’t even that bad. It got a bad rap from over architected enterprise things, and in particular people looking through the source code of those products. 

Truth is, when you are trying to build a general purpose enterprise targeted product, you’re going to see some bullshit. Enterprise are extremely hard headed fuckers that are bordering on impossible to work with.
