Java != Slow
I am not the biggest Java fan inside or outside of my company. But I detest being on the receiving end of a conversation that involves Sun (I am madly passionate about Sun). So when I met up with a few friends of my friends and heard the standard “Java is dog slow” complaint, I had to invent a (truthful) counterexample.

I think that might just be the case... The only Java app that I have enjoyed using as a user so far has been NetBeans...
