"Everyone already has Java on their PC unless they're running windows 3.1."
I deliberately do not install Java on my PC. It's much too huge on my small lappy.
Besides, you've been living under a rock if you still think JS is a bad idea for games... JS nowadays is almost as fast as native machine code, unless you still use an ancient browser like IE6, you know? Besides that, people have invented interactive SVG (can use JS for manipulation) and two (!) different 3D libraries using JS for the browsers are on their way! And there's the Canvas object, as mentioned, for proper drawing and rendering as if it were a regular application.
With all the enhancements in browsers' JS it works just fine for games now.
