My son often asks me my favorite <something> and I always hedge with "well, I really like..."<br><br>I really like the vibrant open source java community.<br>I don't like the lack of first class functions or closed class definitions.<br>
I like the tendency to focus on the deployable artifact or application rather than the tools we use to get there.<br>I don't like some tendencies I have seen in organizations who use java in a big way. They tend to constrain, govern, and enforce where they could enable, challenge, and explore.<br>
I like the focus java people seem to have on building things to last rather than planning to rewrite.<br>I don't like complex classloader configuration, app server quirks, and especially JTA.<br><br>OK your turn!<br><br>
