How widespread is Java, really? For every Java programming job I see advertised, I see three C# jobs. Visual Basic even seems to be more common than Java. C# is just redundant, and Visual Basic is to programming as the Easy Bake Oven is to cooking, but that doesn't seem to stop people from using them.
