Since we love Java, we can see the potential in these applications. We can see the beauty in their functionality and their crafty use of the Swing libraries. What we are ignoring is that many of them would be considered a joke if they were not written in Java. There wouldn't be anything cool about the applications or their interfaces or implementation had they not been written in Java. Its not enough to say that they are in Java anymore. They have to be in Java and good.

Heh - I don't even have to make fun of that - it makes fun of itself
