I've grown a strong dislike for annotations. One here or there is not the problem, but they will be used (I'm looking at you Spring) to add magic to my programs. I want to know what goes on; annotation hide what goes on. Debugging problems with annotations is a real pain. I like that in Kotlin the community seems to fight overuse of annotations (also they fight overuse of Exceptions which I really like: Exceptions are not a way to do multiple return values, sumtypes are).
