Java has been worth our while for the past decade or so, I can only assume the future for it is still bright.

I wasn't crazy about Netbeans last I tried it, though I hear they completely rewrote it since, but am fine with Eclipse.

Everyone needs to know how object oriented architecture works because that is modern programming whether you're using Java, Javascript, C#, or one of the other popular languages.  If you're not working with objects you're living in the dark ages.

I write relatively simple Java for a small business.  I have my own fairly extensive API I've been working on for over 10 years, but I don't currently use anything fancy.  If you want to work for a corporation you'll need to know ant, gradle, Spring, or other such tools.  I just right click my project and select export as jar.  Tools can make things easier, particularly if you're on a team of developers (I've had some help here and there but I'm basically a one man team), but some tools can also restrict what you're able to do.  I like being able to customize every bit of code to do exactly what I had in mind.
