The whole Java configuration hell stereo-type is kind of getting old. Its really not true anymore (have a look at the play framework). Although I do agree Java is verbose and you defiantly need an IDE to edit it that doesn't mean other less verbose languages could not benefit from an IDE. If you really want to play the Ivory Tower of condescension you need to attack the army of PHP programmers and there love of string manipulation of SQL statements.
