It's not just the newbies that limit themselves to the Java hammer, a lot of folks who've been in the industry for some time have grown comfortable with Java and are too set in their ways to change. In some cases, they're so set in their ways that they won't even migrate to newer Java tools that would automate a lot of what they currently do by hand, even though on time-constrained projects where we could have saved a considerable amount of time by taking advantage of faster development methods (it took 30 minutes to build and deploy a functioning web service in C# and 4 days to get the same thing working (but without the DB connection) in Java). We went with the Java version... what we could have done in one week has now taken up around two months.
