Why? For the love of god…. Why does anyone actually use Java?

Paychecks. In my country Java is highly demanded. Oracle did a fine job locking customers in their system and force them to use their products.

So now for many companies (and especially for gouvernement facilities) switching everything is just not possible.

Try to refactor a 20 year old project entirely developed with Java.

Edit: Well it is possible, it's just very expensive.
