I like Java for its platform independency, and for how fast I can create a working application, but most of all I really like the API documentation! It's so accessible and comprehensible that I have never felt the need to buy a single Java book. Everything I want to know how to do in Java I can find out in a matter of minutes by browsing the API.
I am proficient in C, C++, Python, O'Caml and even Visual Basic, but I use Java whenever I can get away with it.
