Are you talking about Java or Javascript? I can definitely believe that Javascript has lead to a ton of malware installs, but Java shouldn't be any different from any other programming language in that sense.

Plus hasn't GCS pretty much been a dead project for several years now. Last I heard the lead developer quit and no one has been willing to pick it up since then. The few times I've used it it seemed extremely rough and non-intuitive, like it still needed a lot more work to even be considered a beta-quality product.

No; GCS had an update at the beginning of this year, and it's been the opposite of rough and non-intuitive since I started using it years ago. It's a very polished piece of software.
