Java has a massive inertia advantage in modding, which is pretty important in my opinion because modders are the largest playerbase that will stick with your game for a very, very long time. Additionally, modders have been known to stick to old versions of minecraft for a long time, so new features/tooling likely won't sway them. I expect the java edition to remain the most popular version for a very long time.

As other commenters have stated, java is best for modability both because of it's extensive community support and inertia (already written mods are on java).

However, (this may not be true any more, but I think it is) you get a free version of the win10 store version of minecraft with a java edition purchase. So just buy the java version, and you get both (and the prices are pretty close last I checked)

How is requiring javascript an accessibility problem?

The author of that article's problems with 7zip can be summed up and dismissed like so:

1. 7zip has had security flaws - so does every other software that interacts with untrusted data, and the author admits himself that 7zip's author has responded quickly (it doesn't seem like 7zip has an abnormally high amount of exploits)

2. People are using/redistributing old versions of 7zip which are vulnerable - and that's 7zip's fault how? 7zip's own website has an easy to use and up to date installer, go after the people hosting the shitty mirrors

3. 7zip doesn't use ASLR - the author of the article literally gives the reason for this: shrinking the binary size (he then tries to pretend like this is some gaping security flaw)

4. 7zip doesn't use DEP on 32 bit windows prior to win10 - do people seriously even use 32 bit windows nowadays? (also, this is as dumb of a "flaw" as not having ASLR)

Fun fact: the article's author recommends you use the OS's built in tools (aka windows explorer), so I guess I'll just have to pretend that any tar/rar/etc files don't exist
