>I'm wondering how people deal with this issue Using an IDE in Java is almost a necessity. With that, people mostly just get use to it. I recently had to return briefly to Java (also for android). All I had to do was recursively chmod a directory. This is something that once seemed simple to do in Java, and indeed it is still simple. However now when I write that code I am painfully aware of how unnecessarily long and complicate it is. However, the larger project involve cross compiling python with c-extensions (and external c dependencies), so I do appreciate the relaxation that comes with Java boilerplate.
