I think you just don’t realize when a given software is Java. I personally really like intellij, one might say it is “bloated” (though I hate that word), but that’s only because of indexing everything, not due to java itself.

On the server front many cloud infrastructures themselves, apple servers, pretty much every top 500 company has some form of business critical infrastructure chugging along on top of the JVM happily.

Oh no, I realize what software I use is Java. Swing feels bad to use. On my workstation at least, JetBrains IDEs are slow, I haven’t used it in a long time, but Eclipse was slow, NetBeans was slow, there’s an enterprisey Java web start application I need to use at work and that’s slow. Like I said, Minecraft is the only piece of software written in Java that I enjoyed using.
