- adambard 7y ago.NET-the-technology is pretty good, but for many developers, .NET is synonymous with expensive licensing and tooling (and you pretty much have to use Windows, ick). The JVM and .NET are presently about the same capability-wise, but Java is (or at least, is perceived as) much easier and cheaper to freely experiment with. Unless you need to use C# for some deep Windows integration, this makes Java the obvious choice for anyone without sunk costs in the .NET ecosystem.
