Happy for you.

Sysadmin for 15 years here though, Java was always a problem. The version wasn't always the worst bit, but it was always an exercise in frustration.

Mostly security controls to blame, but I have had so many issues across so many systems that I cannot stand by and let you claim this is FUD about Java.

the .NET applets are also a problem (because who has a compatible IE version?), but they worked more consistently than the Java ones back in the day.

The HTML5 ones are the only ones that seem to work consistently; but that could be biased as HTML5 is much newer, so BMCs implementing that might be updated with more regularity. (or be more modern hardware)
