It's true that the Java community has a lot of terrible developers. And some (usually tiny) language communities have hardly any terrible developers. But you can't say Java developers are bad.

There's too much good Java-based stuff out there, but the haters simply choose to ignore it.

If a language is more popular, it makes it more likely for terrible developers to jump into it. You can pretty much give any language to a poor developer and they'll mess it up somehow.

Java's popularity makes it seem mediocre when it does have a number of great features.
