This seems rather silly, doesn't it? A modern IDE like IntelliJ is going to be full of "golf" suggestions anyway, so I find it hard to believe that IDE-composed code is actually going to be more verbose!

In my experience CRs from non-IDE users were more likely to have issues like unused imports, weird formatting, unused variables, and so on, because their text editors won't yell at them over that (perhaps a linter should be set up to catch it but let's face it, few people have all the things they'd like to have in place).
