You can see Java running on most university's websites, and those websites look awful. One thing I experienced with Java is that it is much slower than other web technologies.
Front-ends aren't written in Java, what does Java have to do with it?
Stuff like Blackboard uses Java in the front-end. It's terrible software.
Remember applets? Yeah, I try to forget them too.
