Serious question: Is this still true, and does it even matter anymore?
If you are building web apps you can run whatever platform you want. 40%+ of smart phones don't do Java. Arduino doesn't have a fully functional JVM. Java in the browser is non-existent due to security issues.

On the other hand, I was merrily chugging along with Python stuff on Windows for a long time with only one problem (in order to install native libraries you either need an obscure version of Visual Studio or hunt down obscure downloads from the itnernet).
