- Not yet stable enough.
- Too many APIs to sort out - esp. if you've already started to use JGL
- Applet writers will want to focus on 1.1, which the latest browsers
  support fairly well.

It works on IE and Explorer if you rewrite the HTML documents to use
EMBED/OBJECT instead of APPLET. Opera 3.51 uses the plugin also for
APPLET, the others will use the built-in VM. Also, the plugin doesn๏ฟฝt
exist for all potentially interesting architectures.

An aversion to featuritis. :-)
