Agreed.

Sun has screwed up the licensing of Java from the start. Their deal with 
Microsoft early on made that clear to me.

I prefer to use just about any other tool (except, of course, for 
JSP/.NET, etc). Python, Perl, ... any other tool will do the jobs I need 
done and I can avoid the sluggishness of Java, the licensing 
ambiguities, and the dependence on a company that is *not* a software 
company to begin with!

Grrrr..

None. Just a user.
