Readability is one of the hardest things to achieve in code, so you might as well make it easier. I admit Java is ugly- but you can locally determine what it is up to. The repetition of types is bad (been really enjoying how Scala got rid of that). But the "it is too much typing" kind of complaint is irrelevant if you have an editor or IDE that can paste, execute quick macros or add the boilerplate all by itself.
