You're use to using a hammer on a screw. It's never been an issue for you for four years.

It's still a big issue overall.

You're exactly the problem the commenter is talking about. I got used to it within a month and while I would appreciate better error handling (if that even exists), I don't think the solution should be rushed and I don't think the way Java handles it is right.

I agree, but leaving it because people are used to it is not the right solution imo.
