I've found the only thing I need a java app for is for internal Sysadmin
stuff.  Like IPMI & remote access to systems, network switches, raid boxes,
etc.  I've also seen it for VPN and VDI (Citrix).

For those, I download the .jnlp and run java on that.  Once I get the
applet on a local disk, I don't need to get it off the web site.

FWIW, Sun used to have a browser called HotJava (HotSpot?) that worked well
for java applets.  A purpose built web browser for java applets would be a
good thing for VPN/VDI support.
