It's maybe a trivial and often-held opinion but nonetheless: client-side Java should die. Server-side, it's quite strong and capable, but client-side Java has proven itself to be a significant security threat. And as stated by 'hrjet' there is no significant reason to use Java in the browser anymore. Organisations still relying on legacy applications requiring old Java versions should really look into their priorities. For companies it may be wise to only install Java on a few terminal servers / citrix servers (closely monitored, no internet access) and keep the user desktop clean from Java.
