Although, because of its prominence, Java gets a lot of attention and with it much criticism (some of it valid), many don't realize that some big breakthroughs have arrived and that the Java development landscape is solving important problems. Also, Developer.com posted their "product of the year" awards for 2006. Java related products have the strongest showing with the largest number of awards.

I like creating cross-platform DESKTOP apps in Java. I create apps that must run on multiple platforms and communicate with multiple DBMS's (Oracle, Sql Server, MySql, Postgresql). I think this is where JDBC simply shines. By using pure java JDBC drivers that I include with the app, I can simply drag-and-drop the app to different OS platforms. Otherwise it would be a pain to setup all the client libraries for all the DBMS's on all the platforms. Go Java!
