Saying Java is good because it runs on 3 billion devices is the same like saying mass public transport is good because it carry billions of people.

Yup, just like Windows don't suck less because there are so many users.

Linux ftw. And i am a Java dev btw.

@undefined beat me too it!

Java certainly has it's place. Just don't use a hammer for everything.

@albizgil i don't know where you live but i can assure you that not every place on planet works like there. I agree with you, It is good, it helps a lot of people, and it is really important. Maybe you just didn't understand the analogy.

The day Windows doesn't suck is the day they run it on a vacuum cleaner.

@albizgil i meant that this is one of the arguments i've heard when people were defending Java (good because runs on a lot of devices). To them i make this analogy. Like i said i am a Java dev so i know some pros and cons. I just think that we can't use this argument and say that If Java wasn't that good, it wouldn't be running on 3 billion devices.
