It is not true that all sucky computer programs are Java applications, but I've yet to find evidence to refute the converse.

In the GIS world, it's either ESRI ArcGIS on Windows or a Java app. While it does suck in some ways, OpenJump is my favorite opensource GIS. uDIG (based on Eclipse) has a few more features - but not anything I use regularly.
One suckiness about OpenJump: if I run it on my laptop whilst on battery, it locks up the machine. Plug it in the wall and it's fine... That defies ALL design objectives of Java!

re "...design objectives of Java", the only consistent behavior I've observed from Java is that it portably implements non-deterministic core dumps.

Who was it that said, years ago, "Write once, debug everywhere." ?

"Write once, run away" is my favorite tag line.
