That's an impressive rant and can't disagree with some of it, but you're nearly a decade behind in your assessment of java in the Enterprise. New deployments of EJB apps have dropped precipitously (never should have existed), and Java still enjoys wide Enterprise use. Part of the reason big businesses were able to abuse enterprises with their abominable Java server stacks is because corporations were slow to trust open source. But developers persisted and open source became too compelling to ignore, creating the upward pressure to embrace it and break the bloated and overpriced enterprise app server's stranglehold. This likely prevented the demise of Java that you suggest has happened. In fact, when it comes to enterprise these days, you're pretty much either a Java or a .NET shop.
