Not all sites need to be constantly changing and being redone when they just need to do one thing well. Although generally if you want your product taken seriously you need to at least make sure it doesn't look like a scam site of prior times.<p>Now for a bit of Oracle ranting:<p>Oracle is the retirement home for software and hardware products. Sad because while Oracle could be kinda ruthless back in the day, they did produce some one of the best databases during the time. Now everything they do is just a nightmare of complexity, cost and failure.<p>Java and MySql both were brought into Oracle so Oracle could remove competition and reduce the effectiveness of open source, no matter what their press releases say. Every action they have taken has been to wall things off, stop innovation and to hurt the community around those tools. So the site not being updated is their hint of we don't care, we are just here for the money and lawsuits.<p>Funny enough people thought this would be what Microsoft would do since it has purchased some open source companies too. However, so far they seem to be showing quite the opposite approach which is refreshing.
This is a site for end users, and end users aren't their target market, especially since NPAPI browser plugins have been dead since ~2018. Oracle's Java market is much more on the server/back-end, and we don't (usually) need a shiny website to know "Do I have Java?"
Some websites are designed to be simplistic and minimal such as Berkshire and Hathaway's website and I completely get that. But Oracle have not updated the look/design of the Java download website for many years and it just looks terrible. Thoughts?
