When Oracle bought Sun, Java lost its mojo. Sure, Java still has many more installs, but who would trust Oracle with it medium- to long-term. Microsoft was clearly evil when Java was born, and in the late 1990's. But Microsoft turned, created C#, and has slowly nurtured it so it's now better than Java in many ways, e.g without Java's rotten type erasure, snappier in Visual Studio than JVM-anything in Eclipse, with the dynamic keyword, ... Now everyone knows Oracle is more evil than Microsoft, and the JVM is just one of many platforms, alongside .NET, javascript ..., we can develop to.
