I hate Java with the white hot passion of a thousand suns. It is baked into so many admin tools for hardware (Dell, Cisco, etc) and trying to connect to older hardware that requires a security model that isn’t supported anymore or has expired certs that are never getting updated is a giant pain in the ass. Run anywhere my ass. I have to keep special VMs with just the right version of Java and all the necessary tweaks (like having to tell it that certain older encryption methods are ok) to even access some of these tools. I’ve even had to surplus hardware that was perfectly fine accept for the fact I could configure it because of some stupid Java thing. In short removed Java with a rusty wire brush.
I miss Java.

I’m not bitter at all 🤣
It’s still around, with Oracle humping it’s corpse.
Don’t worry Java is alive and well on Android… For now 😹
Until you try to run Android app without Android :)
But I got the point.
