Here we work with scrum and have a pretty agile development cycle. I really believe that if we were to develop our site ground-up, we would use JEE again for the same reasons some of you've pointed out... and actually, we're doing it!

But, for example, many of our webpages are made with PHP using some CMS (Typo3) because it's perfect for this. Our mobile site uses our Java webservices from PHP too.

I've been working with JEE (formerly J2EE) and JSE for some ten years and I know of Java's (platform and language) problems, but I think that they are surpassed by its capabilities, tools, resources availability, etc.

Do I want Java to go away? Why I ask? It works! It's not perfect, is not shiny, is not "agile", but it gives management that warm feeling of cash flowing in. Oh! And it gives me a job!
