No, HTML rules. It`s sufficient for most of the things you want to do.
It`s easy to learn and doesn`t pose security risks.

I have seen not ONE SINGLE really good page on the WWW that could not have
been created without Java AND Javascript. In fact most of my favourite
pages use neither.

One of the grat things about HTML IS that it`s easy to learn. Almost
anyone can produce results within a relatively short time.

Java is just a programming language. Whether it`s fun depends on what you
do with it. In any case it takes a LOT more time than HTML to produce
results. IMO it`s generally not worth the bother.

What counts is the CONTENT of a page. 

Or to put it differently, there will never be any kind of programming or
page description language with which it will not be infinitely easy to
creat wrong, ugly or boring results.
