It's a bit of a "stop hitting yourself" situation. Java features make awesome tooling possible, but awesome tooling is necessary due to some really bad features of Java. So I don't care if a different language has worse tooling when it also does not have the problems that Java has that the tooling solves.

The result of that tooling is better. It is easier to read, navigate, refactor and write then supposedly superior language without tooling.

The large the project, the bigger the gap gets.
