Indeed. Developers will keep chosing JVM for technical reasons, managers will keep choosing Java for business reasons, and the end-user doesn't have any choice. Want the application to run? Install Java.

Na... look for an app that doesn't need it. Haven't had Java on any of my machines for 5 years and i don't miss it one bit.

Many websites/webapps run on Java on the server side.
Also some desktop apps come with Java bundled together. The user just installs the app and runs it.
