Annotations are one of the major innovations in the Java language.  The 
fact that they can be abused (and are abused) for me is not criteria 
enough to dislike or even ban the feature.  You wouldn't forbid knifes 
even though a lot of people die from them, would you?

Btw, Saxo did you consider JRuby?  It's actually one of the fastest Ruby 
variants, has a nice and appealing syntax, you can use all the Java 
classes and, if you like, Rails.

Kind regards
