Does the avg. user need Java installed? I'm sure a few niche websites using applets might crash and burn but for the majority of users WTF is Java even used for anymore? The stupid thing seems to update every week.

No. If you not develop on Java you don’t need their virtual machine installed. The most web app using Java and JSP are used in the intranet corporate networks. AFAIK nobody uses applets or Java swing anymore.

That almost calls out for a misinterpretation, but I will leave it at that out of respect for the sensitive members... :-D
Pun was fully intended :-D

Martin County Florida Clerk of Court's website requires it. I don't mind. Very useful site.

Yeah it's really invasive, the .net framework never seems invasive at all by comparison. I avoid the java runtime now like the plague.

Much to many peoples' shagrin, the DoD has recently developed two major Intelligence applications (desktop apps, not web apps) using Java. So you need the VM installed and then the app will run. Ug! To make matters worse, we (someone else in the org, not me!) have to figure out how to interface a .NET application with a Java API that one of the applications exposes.

Saying Java is great because it works with all platforms is like saying anal sex is great because it works with all genders.

To Java, or not To Java... That is the question! Whether 'tis nobler in the browser to suffer The crashes and failures of faulty coding, Or to rise up against a sea of horrible applets, And by blocking, end them.

Uninstalled JAVA a few years ago and haven't missed it a bit. Of course, I am above average - just ask my mom. YS
