Java has just had a terrible steward in Oracle. Plus the community seems to like boilerplate code (see: Angular for more of that if you're into javascript).

I switched to C# as my main language specifically because they were gaining awesome features like generics, lambda, LINQ. Since then it just got better and better.

In the C# world you seem to encounter systems where the logic is either in:

* UI event handlers * Methods on helper classes which consume a model generated from a database. * Domain modeled with classes with the logic split between the classes themselves and services which consume classes.

In the first two cases the code tends to have a massive sprawling dependency tree which makes it harder to maintain. In the latter case you've usually got a better chance of having properly isolated code. Even if the isolation isn't super you at least have the logic well organised.
