You're not alone. I've never felt good about Java for the same reason that
I don't like dealing with proprietary software: if the vendor decides to EOL
the software, I'm stuck with a glob of quickly-obsoleting mess. Sun may
very well develop and maintain Java for decades to come, but they could also
drop the project tomorrow and start reigning in usage of their trademark.
It probably won't happen, but it *could*, and that kind of bothers me.
