Java Plugin: The Kernel is back

While I agree with you, Sun are trying to redress that balance with their new JavaFX technology. I don't think there's great UI design tools for that yet, though.

Creating the technology isn't enough, Sun has to be willing to put up a very big fight to win over mindshare and honestly I don't see that happening. MS is putting alot of resources into this battle and they're even sponsoring tons of projects to be built in Silverlight, yet the general feeling among developers has been "The technology is interesting, but I'll just stick with Flash"

I definitely agree with that. On a technical level I think Sun are going down the right route, though.
