Except you are forgetting that building dependencies from source is also something that happens in real life, as it is opening such projects in IDEs.

In one thing you are right, I make my life easier by choosing other alternatives when possible.

Wouldn’t BFS only require Lombok’s presence at the build step rather than after deployment?

Or is your stance here against it showing up a a transitive during development when including sources written with Lombok? If so, that’s pretty extreme; the build dependency surface of many packages is really huge. Do you have issues with other large or opinionated build depends (protoc, schema downloaders like buf, test frameworks)?

Rather uncommon in the java world. Anyway, you can just delombok if you hate it so much.
