I was programming the back-end with Java so I chose to write the UI using Spring. I then had to use Java Web Start which was a right pain in the arse to deploy. Clients (troubled school kids) needed to install the Java run-time environment as well. One really annoying problem was that it still didn't support 64 bit. In hindsight I should have created a web-portal using Spring so people could just use their web browsers rather than download an applet.
I use Java all the time but I don't actually like it that much.
Spring and JSP sucks way way less than applets.
I prefer C for the kind of work I do, but the man said we're deprecating all the C stuff for Java, which made business sense. As the man is responsible for the paycheck that supports the lifestyle I've come to appreciate, the man gets what he wants.
I'm kind of a whore that way.
