Seriously, the only new language feature in Java 5 that is useful is enums.

Generics are a disaster. The idea was a mess in C++, and a mess in C#. What made anyone think that Java would be different?

The "enhanced" for loop and autoboxing serve ... what purpose, exactly? So you can save ten keystrokes when you build a loop? Hint: It doesn't hurt to type with both hands, people.
