Unless you write everything from scratch, you are forced to deal with 20 years of bad design. I really wish people would just stop beating this dead horse.
A lot of de Java standard library is actually quite nice to program with. Of course there are less good parts, but Java is committed to compatibility so you can choose between dealing with an old design versus continually refactoring code to the standard of the day. I prefer having a choice.
As far as Java use in companies is an indicator, the horse is still running.
