Coming from Pascal/C/C++ to Java in early 00's I really hate it the style of non-existing global variables. To use global variables I had to declare another class? Such heresy!! To this day I still hate Java, personally, but when it comes to a real challenge I really don't care the programming language. Programming languages are tools, each fits better for a particular problem and my clients pay me to solve their problems, not to bitch why one language is better than other.
