This is a place where local variable type inference really comes in handy for cutting down the noise of the type declarations.

  var descendingTransactionsByValue = comparing(Transaction::getValue).reversed();
  var groceries = transactions.filter(t -> t.getType() == Transaction.GROCERY);
  var sortedGroceries = groceries.sorted(descendingTransactionsByValue);
  var transactionids = sortedGroceries.map(Transaction::getId).collect(toList());

is much easier to understand

Oh definitely, although I'll have to wait for it to be added to the JDK [1] in order to use that in anger :/ (outside of lombok)
