...there's a regard in which Java does *not* suck?

(Actually, yeah, there is: The idea. It was a good idea. Unfortunately 
they did it wrong...)

Right. Well let's not like anybody shows us how to use VS or anything. 
They just acted like it was "obvious" or something.

If you're doing this stuff yourself by hand, you have a folder full of 
*.java files. When you compile them, it creates *.class files. Oh, and 
you have to have subfolders to patch the package structure, but that's 
about it.

Create a VS project and you've got source files, project metadata, 
several different compiled versions of the stuff, resource files, 
packaged-up deployment files, JavaDoc files... It's not like you need to 
be Leroy Gibbs to figure it out, but it's certainly not trivial.
