I like java as a language. It's consistent, has less warts than many languages and the jvm is pretty darn awesome. What I don't like is the java ecosystem. Guice? I've nothing but bad experiences with it. Just about every framework out there that I've used in java has gotten in my way more frequently than it's been helpful. Java Api's (excluding much of the stdlib) almost all seem to be made to annoy me. Java's great. If only it's ecosystem matched.
