It seems that everything in web development, in some fashion or another, is cyclical. For example, it was best practice to completely separate your HTML, CSS, and JS. Now people advocate for putting CSS in your JS.

I'm not saying one or the other is better, just trying to make the point that the general consensus will be "do this" and it will change to "do that" and eventually we'll get back to some hybrid of "do this."

So, to answer your question I think we'll see Java Applets make a comeback soon.
