IMHO I think that java apps and javascripting are too slow to load, as a
webdeveloper I use java to do things but it does hinder the efficiency of
the website.  What Java really needs is fast loading (along with most
things that look good on the web).  There are many clients who simply do
not want java in their website because of the slow loading rate.  I don't
know how much of what I said is relevant to your concern, but that is my
opinion of Java.
