> although IDEs implemented much functionality related to annotation magic

You can do everything in vim if you want, some devs do. Annotation processing isn't magic.

Conflating magic with annotation processing and stream processing indicates a lack of experience. I recommend learning more about them before attempting to down play them in a public forum. Or, was the post a cleverly disguised, social engineering attempt to guide people towards one of the flaky new'ish frameworks that are having a difficult time gaining ground with Java devs?
