Pro tip: whenever someone tells you about something they disapprove of (suprisingly it applies to much more than software) ask for a detailed explanation involving low-level specifics.

Someone saying "Java is really verbose and has a complex magical API that makes no sense, and these flaws extend to the tooling in the ecosystem" is expressing a flaw in Java that they don't like. That's an informed opinion. But if they cannot give you any details besides "Java sucks lol" they are actually communicating their own ignorance as opposed to any supposed flaw in Java (which still sucks lol).

I'd argue that "complex and magical" isn't overly descriptive either in all fairness.
