I think part of the hate may come from people trying to code Java in a text editor rather than an IDE. Java's verbosity/class-heaviness really doesn't bother me at all when I'm in an IDE. OTOH, coding java in a text editor is pretty frustrating.

That's a fair point. Programming in Java was what made me move from Emacs to Netbeans. Well, at least for Java, HTML, Javascript etc. It's an environment that needs an IDE because of the large number of libraries and the large number of features delegated to libraries rather than the core language (which is an architectural decision that I approve of, BTW)
