Today, I've googled for "i hate java" and "java sucks".

You shouldn't be, really. :)

biggest problem, I think, is java's coolest part: The huge availale
classes and source code . For some one that likes programming it's a
source of frustration.

I doubt it. The biggest problem, almost certainly, is that like any
other worthwhile programming language, Java requires that you adjust
your frame of thinking a little. Human beings don't like doing that,
because looks too much like admitting that one was wrong in the past.
Many people react to this by projecting their fears as a hatred for
whatever is encouraging them to change their thinking... in this case,
Java.

For me, all the staff above wasn't my problem. My problem was with
accepting that such an amazing VM that can run on multiple
achitectures is being wasted using such an archaic programming
language.

You see? Here we have another example.
