It's pretty slow, and you can look forward to always being at least a
JRE-release behind everyone else.  Other than that, the latest versions
work like you'd expect them to work.  It's an only development platform.

Solaris isn't bad.  IMHO, Windows isn't bad[0].  Some people swear by
MacOS.


[0] I should qualify that.  Windows is a pile of shit.  However, it's
    no more a pile of shit for Java development than it is for anything
    else.
