Never liked this guy. And Oracle DB has always kinda sucked.

And that’s their only “good” product.

The rest is utter garbageware, designed for one purpose: to check boxes on RFPs.

Java was nice for the time. Same with MySQL.

MySQL was acquired by Sun Microsystems, which was also the original developer of Java. Oracle acquired Sun. So I'd say any niceness there is in spite of, not because of, Oracle.

Also... Java's still pretty nice :-)
