Though Java has a few idiosyncricies, I agree. It is a powerful language. I have been using NetBeans to design GUI apps in Java for a few years now. It is free, open source, and works great on *nix, wintendo and TheCultOfMac.

I will probably also delve into some more of the web oriented languages once I perfect Java.
Keep in mind that Java/C# can also get you "web" programming done. Though the classic scripting languages such as ASP, CGI, PHP are more "web oriented", there's no reason you can't use a 3GL like Java or C#/Mono to do your web programming.
We've done that at my work, where we used exclusively C# to do web applications.

Unfortunately, this one also relies on an ActiveX viewer object, so we couldn't make it cross-browser/cross-platform yet. I plan to move to another image control in the next year which is cross-platform, so I don't have to run the bloody thing in IE. (I use Crossover Office or IES4Linux to run IE web apps.)
I am using Netbeans as we speak on opensuse (still stuck on SuSe lol) I absolutely love it. I did not fair so well with eclipse. Forgive my newbness but what is the difference between Java and JavaScript? Yeah I have been using Wine to run my windows apps. My Vista box is cowering in the corner because it knows its days are numbered. I am thinking that is the machine I will use for testing as it is a really nice box (Dell XPS system) Unfortunately, school requires me to have a windows box so I guess I will throw in on one of my older machines. Though Vista is very system resource heavy..... Dual boot a testing box ... I am guessing that is asking for trouble. Thanks!
