I like Knute's answer.  Applets seem to be used occasionally, where 
nothing else will do.  However it seems to me the deployment to users 
mechanism is still kinda clunky, and therefore applets tend to be 
avoided.  Applets are still heavyweight relative to alternatives like 
Flash, HTML5 and JavaScript.  They boot more slowly, and therefore are 
perceived to provide a lesser user experience.
