A recent survey reveals a growing dissatisfaction among Oracle Java users, with 88% of over 2,000 respondents contemplating a switch to non-Oracle Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) or Development Kits (JDKs). The notable increase from 72% in 2023 stems primarily from cost concerns, worsened by Oracle's new employee-based pricing model.
