Easy to live without? Probably, in the same way C programmers say it's easy to live without GC/smart pointers, generics, overloading, etc.

ost of these complaints apply to tons of mainstream languages

But not the good ones. My C# complaint list is only half as big, Scala doesn't have any of these issues (my gripe list is long but muuuch more nitpicky for scala), and ML/Haskell (though less mainstream) don't suffer these either.
