To be fair, the compiler generally forces you to keep the forwarding methods updated. It can be irritating, but there's little risk of forgetting in a statically-typed language.

Manual forwarding also operates as a forcing function to write small interfaces and to keep different pieces of logic separated in different layers, both of which feel like good design to me. (Though I'm not saying I'd turn my nose up at a terser notation for method forwarding, haha.)
