If I am honest it is just that I prefer compiled languages. I like Java because it is hard to do stupid things in it but still compiles down to something I can hand over to other people without them being able to break it by opening it in notepad accidentally.

Obviously I see the benefit of simplifying things like we see in Python, Ruby, etc.

A lot of people don't like Java because of how strictly OO it is.
