So nice to hear from the developer of some software I very much liked and used as a kid. I especially liked the smudge feature. You definitely made me happy and I thank you for that.
This website looks extremely familiar. I think I visited it about 15 years ago and I am not completely sure but didn't you have a nice drawing and photo editing software there? I can't remember the name of it but it was the best ever, until it was disappointingly discontinued because of lack of buying customers :(
Sorry, I thought it was quite self-evident, although probably mostly for people having to use this technology.
I don't want to get into flame wars or extensive argumentation but from my personal experience dealing with Java in the past, both from the application user's side as well as development side has been such a pain. It was a complete bloatware package, slow and ugly, RAM hungry, disk I/O hungry. Even the java.com website is ugly as hell and not changed during the last 15 years. Doesn't really increase confidence for improved experience.
