Java/C#, though the complexity is now matching C++, especially with all the new fashionable functional "features" most large code bases are a huge mishmash of styles and complexity that is making me wish for sensible C++ developers again.

The problem with Java isn't so much the language. It's the ecosystem and the community. The ecosystem is very rich, so there are many ways of doing pretty much anything, which means it's easy to get lost in the complexity. And the community is fad-prone. Patterns! Injection! Annotations! Something else (for now)! A certain skepticism is crucial for staying sane.
