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.)
