Every time I hear how using 'new is bad' (or "considered harmful") in Java or Javascript it just makes me chuckle. Refactoring is not hard with half-decent tool

Every time I hear how using 'new is bad' (or "considered harmful") in Java or Javascript it just makes me chuckle. Refactoring is not hard with half-decent toolchain so adding extra complexity/indirection doesn't improve anything.
