Well, I don't have much experience with Sun/Oracle products. However, I am frustrated by them even based on my limited experience. Sun's Java is great. However, I am disappointed by what Sun has done with Java. Java programs launches and runs like a snail. I am not surprised to see .Net overwhelms Java. Just look at their speed.
Today I tried Sun JavaStudioCreator (2 EA). It starts Sun App Server, which takes 100M memory. The Creator takes another 100M memory. Every operation in Creator takes quite a few seconds, sometimes up to a minute, to respond. How can this expererience win over .Net? With Microsoft Visual Studio .Net, nothing takes more than 3 seconds. Launching and debugging a ASP.NET app takes less than 3 seconds. Sun's Creator is really disappointing. Slow, and eats big memory.
It may be unfair to scold Oracle, but I had the same experience with Oracle database server. Slow, and eats memory. That was for my wife's database class.
I have always favored Borland. Borland makes great software. I don't like its web site though. Why in the hell does Borland put so many PDFs on their product page? Their team must like PDF a lot. And they also like small fonts a lot.
