We survived getting things into and out of Lists in Java 1.2 to 1.4 somehow. The typecasting on the .get(...) calls is a nuisance, but a minor one.

Sure. And that era of Java was responsible for much of the crap, duplicated code that many of us enterprise developers have had to maintain for a living.

To ask developers to go through that again is a bit rich.

Being able to survive something is a pretty low bar.
