Paul Graham has an interesting opinion on this, in his article 'Revenge 
of the Nerds':

http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html

The 'Pointy Haired Boss' reasoning for choosing to develop in Java:

"Java is a standard. I know it must be, because I read about it in the 
press all the time. Since it is a standard, I won't get in trouble for 
using it. And that also means there will always be lots of Java 
programmers, so if the programmers working for me now quit, as 
programmers working for me mysteriously always do, I can easily replace 
them."
