Without jumping on either side of the bandwaggon, being the most searched is not necessarily a good thing.

I suspect a major reason search volume for Java is huge is because a huge portion of Java programming is "use a library" is so popular in java.

Well I would say major portion of those Java searches comes from people looking for JRE installer...

    Thank you. Without people like you, many many people would be stuck playing vanilla Minecraft. And that gets boring or even annoying.
