I belong to the Java generation but thought it was very clean and nice, promoting good OOP practices. That was in 1998 though and Java was helmed by Sun, and we used something like Java 1.0-1.3. I can understand someone jumping into Java of today could feel far more overwhelmed. So maybe this hasn't always been a truth, but a truth that has been growing?

My sentiment exactly. It did a good job of acting as an improvement over C++ as the language in which business apps were supposed to be written but at some point things like InternalFrameInternalFrameTitlePaneInternalFrameTitlePaneMaximizeButtonWindowNotFocusedState started coming along and ruined it.
