Why Java ?

When there are number of languages available and when technology changes every other day the question arise why we are still stick to Java ?

For me following points makes Java preferred One :-

1.In built memory management : The mysterious Garbage Collector takes care of all those memory management stuffs where as in other programming language Programmer has to write code for this.

2.Stack of APIs : APIs like Collections,Threads,File IO,Swing,etc are provided to minimize cumbersome tasks developer has to go through while developing an application.

3.Portability : Program written and compiled in Windows can be executed in Unix.

4.Multithreading Support.

5.Web based support : Servlet,JSP,Applet.

6.Distributed Applications : Socket Communications,RMI,EJB.

  

For you what makes you to write Java Programs ?
