Probably because it's easy to program in. Every Java applet that I used in my day-to-day work is crap and slows my machine down.
Applets make up about 0.1% of java applications. Most are enterprise applications for which you don't need the jvm on your machine so you wouldn't know it was java, or mobile apps.130R said:

I'm also of the opinion applets are pretty awful, I think the last time I saw anyone doing any development with them was back in the late 90's. Having said that we use HP Quality Center at work which is based on active x and that is a pile of garbage too, so maybe it is just all HP software

Apologies. We use Service Manager 7 with a web-front end which is mostly Java. It's awful and frequently slows down my laptop.

There is a fat client for SM7. It used Java too though...It was an upgrade from Service Centre 5 which was a client/server app delivered through Citrix, which was 100 times better in terms of speed and functionality.

btw - java is not a 'POS' or slow, it is the most widely used programming language in the world ...
Sorry , let me clarify, having had a job to deploy the product in a corporate environment, the windows client is a memory hogging POS, slow and not fit for easy corporate deployment. btw - java is not a 'POS' or slow, it is the most widely used programming language in the world ...
