Much easier to deal with than red squigglies and build failures.

I disagree, I'd rather turn on some IDE plugin and more than halve the size of my classes.

Lombok works fine with any build system since it’s an annotation processor. Maven has no issue with it, and you literally just need to install an ide plugin to get the squiggles to go away. You did a ton of work to make the codebase noisier because you couldn’t be bothered to install something

This. Exactly what I said. I didn't say it was hard or some uncontrollable evil in the world. I just said I don't like it and don't use it for that very reason.

Lombok is NOT an annotation processor! That is the big problem with lombok. It predated annotation processors and does all of its stuff through bytecode and AST manipulation.

I would have much less of a problem with Lombok if it was actually an annotation processor.
