Does anyone enjoy writing JAVA?

For being the language easiets to find a job in, there are surprisingly few people who actually enjoy it. It seems like writing JAVA is about googling ’’javascript find array max’’ and yanking text form stackOverflow answers straight into the newest banking software from 2005.

you don't use plain old java, you use the oracle API, sun API, apache commons, swing, AWT, JavaFX, etc... the great thing about Java is there's so much stuff out there for it that you can just import into your project to quickly and easily make something without having to do it all from scratch

This is an argument for JVM, not necessarily Java.
I could easily use all those libraries in Scala, Kotlin, Clojure, etc. too.
