I used to work on this treadmill, it sucked I agree. Nowadays I still write Java, but it's much more pleasant, all deployed to the cloud, no messing around with application containers and all the Java EE stuff. It's nice, it works, it's simple. Granted, I'm fortunate enough to not have to maintain legacy Java applications so my perspective has been skewed somewhat, but I think it's worth mentioning that "modern Java" has moved a long way from what it used to be.
