This is strictly personal opinion. Modern Java attempts to take control of the solution despite the wishes of a knowledgeable programmer. Perhaps this is an effective ploy, across the board, but it is a distinct pain in the ass when one wishes to depart from the paradigms dictated by those who court the lowest common denominator.

Java is, in many of its actual applications, fat and slow. I know I'm going to hear about that from its proponents, but it is an incontrovertible fact. All one has to do is measure.
