comment When is Java a good choice for web development?
@ErikReppen You could have the same statement for any language out there. For example in my experience I've found a good chunk of PHP developers produce terrible spaghetti code with no mind to re-usability, scalability, or security. Doesn't mean I'd dissuade folks from using PHP if they need a web app that needs to present data dynamically, ins't terribility complex and needs to be developed quickly and have no issues finding qualified developers.

comment Is unit testing procedural code effective?
@mattnz Ya I searched for procedural unit test, but not legacy. Figured that procedural != legacy since there's still new code being created in that format

comment How to deal with bad code?
The process is limited by the developers utilizing it. If they dont' truly understand it, or have bad habits such as what you've described and no-one to force them to change, it means nothing.
