It's not the JVM or the ecosystem, but the language itself. It is clunky and generally irritating to write and read. But the libraries and its niche sophistication (basically enterprise middleware and webapps) are second to none, so people put up with it.
Note: I've been writing it professionally since 1999, currently working a lot with ServiceMix so I'm knee-deep in the enterprise stuff.
