I remember the Java IDE like Eclipse or NetBeans being incredibly slow, and ugly, compared to the same software on similar priced computers running windows or GNU/Linux, or compared to more native software like Xcode or TextMate. But perhaps the powerpc g4 was simply a bad CPU for a JVM and Java developers were not very good at designing UIs for Mac.
I also remember having to wait a long time whenever the JVM was starting. It was annoying when a website did contain a Java applet because my web browser would be stuck until the JVM was ready.
