Is it me or does the below sound condescending?

Trying new features is a good way to broaden your skill set, and if there is something you strongly dislike about the usability of a feature you can even provide feedback to the JDK developers.

To me it reads like: Try our experimental features because that will make you a better (rounded | paid) developer, and if you really really want you may even provide feedback.

No offense, but that's probably you. Even if I try to read that as condescending, I have a hard time doing it.

I read that as: trying new stuff in code generally makes you a better programmer. And when you test stuff that's still in an experimental phase, the language designers are probably still open to feedback from the broader public.

None taken! I'm getting allergic to corpo talk lately and it looks like I'm overreacting!
