I have experienced what feels like a 10x productivity performance using Java: I simply have to write 1/10 the amount of code to get the job done, because of the wonderfully rich class libraries, and logical object-oriented structure of the environment. It also helps that there is zero (count it: ZERO) rework when moving cross platform.

I'm never going back to programming Windows, and I just hope that the performance of Java allows me to avoid programming a lot of native optimized code to get the performance improvements I need.

And I used to be a strong Microsoft advocate. No longer. Unless they change their crass behavior.
