On one hand I'll be happy to not have to keep Java on the school machines, with its terrible installer, and minecraftedu, which wants to write to the install dir (same problem with kerbaledu, but that also has the additional crapness of being licenced per machine based on mac addresses, requiring delicensing, and internet access to check licence).

On the other per year per user fees for software is a terrible trend, especially for schools. And I'd rather run my own server, and the kids love the mods.
