There are, however, a lot of people who think Java's (substantial) verbosity is a legitimate complaint against a language intended to do what it does.
It is a legitimate complaint. Having to write loads of boilerplate makes the code more difficult to read and understand, and increases the surface area for bugs to sneak in. That's true for both one-off scripts and huge enterprisey systems.
