There are also a lot of people that _really_ like Java. Considering the amount of apps / devs that Android has gathered, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the amount of developers that either like or are neutral about Java is far larger than the amount that "really dislike" it. If Android's programming language of choice was going to sink it, it would have happened when it was still a fledgling mobile OS, not years later after it was fully entrenched.
