I think people get too caught up on the verbosity side of code. Most devs spend considerable amounts of time debugging, and that's probably the suckiest part of the job. The amount of time spent writing the code (especially for someone who types quickly, as most devs do) is immaterial compared to the pain of trying to debug a nasty bug or perf problem (especially in a complex systems). That's where verbosity helps a lot as you don't have to dig into the library code to understand what's going behind the scenes, because most of the relevant configs and choices made in regards to how to use the framework are laid out in front of you.
