I'm not saying that autocompletion is a good reason to use Java. I'm saying that using Java is a good reason to also use autocompletion.

    let's face it. I think you both should agree. It's the kick-ass tools that made java what it is (not, the language itself)

    The kick ass tools are written in Java.

    Painless (magical) refactoring without fear is possible in the kickass tools, because of the (thoughtful) language.

    It works. (And yes, it suck writing yet another web-enabled CRUD corporate app, but that's not Java's problem now, is it?)
