Presumably this is quite a popular thing to do?
It isn't, most are ambivalent or simply do not care. Some critics see it as the Jokowi administration's legacy building white elephant project. There are many good arguments why the capital should be moved away from overcrowded, polluted and rapidly sinking Jakarta, but I doubt that the project is worth its cost. It is also unlikely that every instrument and ministries of state will be effectively transported to a remote area in Kalimantan.
I can't imagine this will help Borneo's already-delicate environmental situation either, and for that matter probably won't even do that much to alleviate Java's.
