Java 1.6 is just fine. Sun has done a consistently good job of advancing 
the language and library capabilities, as well as their performance and 
stability. There have been mis-steps and no system as large as Java is 
bug-free, but it's pretty damn good, really, including 1.6.

You do realize those days are now long gone, don't you?

It's not going to get substantially more reliable than it is now 'cause 
it's plenty reliable.

I run IntelliJ (JetBrains) IDEA 7.0, and it _requires_ Java 1.6. I run 
all the own software I develop and all the other Java-based tools I use 
in Java 1.6.

It all works just fine.
