It may be a bit late for sentiment, but if you are having issues installing, feel free to post here and ask a question. Or on the bug tracker.
I also
just posted a

Java was chosen because it was (1) known and (2) compared to everything else, required very little work to get functional cross-platform. As someone who exclusively runs 64-bit linux, I'm pleased it was chosen.
