Warning this is in 2008 context:
Types are cool but when I worked on eclipse apis (plugins) god forbid they were utterly useless. Design matter, having 32 intermediate classes to do just anything, 12 of which are totally unrelated and suddenly types don't help you much.
Also it was full of Option types disguised as potentially empty arrays.

I guess today things are better.
