Big firms like to use it, but most developers who work there probably don't; they just suck it up and do it for the paycheck. Source: am a developer at a big firm being forced to use Java.
I really like Java actually, although we do make use of things like Lombok pretty heavily to reduce the boilerplate, enforce using inheritance very sparsely, and use immutable value types wherever possible (although sadly this is the part that gets ignored most often) - doing those things greatly improves the experience of using Java.
