That may be so, but it's not unanimous. Another camp, and I'm in it, is
happy to leave things as is.

Joe Average Computer User doesn't normally open up a terminal or a
command prompt and run Java commands. So this is really a discussion
about making a simple thing easier for _techie_ types. I don't think it
warrants the effort, and in some ways it introduces problems where none
existed before. Simplify the issue for some programmers on some systems;
complicate it for other programmers on other systems. I don't agree.
