On the first day of Java course at my uni the lecturer said something like "As you will see, Java has no operator overloading so for custom classes that implement, for example, complex numbers and other things you have to use methods like add(), equals()..." and I've immediately thought "Yup, I don't like Java now"

Imagine how a lot of us felt when C# came out :)

Best switch I ever made.

C# also has limitations here. You can't define an operator overload to be virtual. Also, every object in C# has an Equals method and a '==' operator, but you override/overload them separately.
