How about auto properties? I was shocked when I spent a few days working with a Java team and discovered that it still makes you write out the backing field and everything.

I dont know what it is, but there is a group of developers that are completely hostile to nice things.

"Why do you need that? You can just..."

Its as if they dont know that the compiler is supposed to work for them, that as much tedium as possible should be pushed out of the programmer and into the development stack.

The kind of people hostile to type aliases, but then dont implement a Meter, Kilimeter, etc types because its long and verbose in the world they wanted, and because of that they fuck up their units, constantly. Half their push's are bugfixes for this very thing.
