If I compare the lines of code between JUnit without annotations and JUnit with annotations I usually have less lines of code without annotations and I don't find it bothersome to name my test method correctly. Annotations in Java have always bothered me! Why are they needed? I don't need them in Clojure, Go, Haskell, C - similar behaviour is supplied by alternative means.
