I like long names because autocomplete usually means typing speed doesn't matter and they are more verbose, so less thinking when I come back to the code next week. Same goes for strong typing, it makes you think when you write it so you (or somebody else) have to think less when you read it, and obviously it keeps you from making mistakes, helps the IDE make useful suggestions etc.

Me: Many people like X. Anybody here who likes Y?
You: I like X!

Sorry, I'm bad at reading, I understood your question as mostly "why do people like X?"

But you also say
> I see this "strictness over readability" on the rise in many places and I think it is a net negative.
which makes your tastes a bit more... absolute to say something. So it makes sense to me that people reply to your negative view with counter arguments.
