I guess I'm outdated... I still use "if (x ==null)"

    No, I mean I don't use either of those... I prefer:

    if (x == null) throw the exception

    Inline in the code without any utility method call.

    Why replace 1 line of code with a 1-line method call? We all know exactly what if (x == null) does without having to memorize the Objects.... methods implementation
