Let's start with: Java is a language that one would create when looking at the state of C++ in early 90's and thinking how can I make it "better" in terms of being error prone.
But this was only an evolution instead of a revolution STL introduced as a way of programming
(sure, they weren't first, but I'd say they were the first to introduce it to masses)
The rest is a consequence of being backward
Problem with null pointers? Still there
Speaking of pointers in Java, I like how Java fans continuously say "they're not pointers, they're references"
But guess what happens when you access a null reference? A NullPointerException is thrown
So what I don't like?
Collections API. Just terrible.
The "unmodifiable" lists are your regular lists that throw exceptions on modifications

wow fuck android
the general platform is fundamentally broken and even the open source applications are hilariously broken for many reasons
you have no way of distinguishing client and non-client area in general when you visit web, so have fun distinguishing ads from real UI elements - very needed when you want to distinguish ads. since you can't block ads without rooting reliably, rooting is required to have usable Android experience
if you visit a website and you want to download a specific image you can typically long-press it - unless shitty scripts break the functionality, in which case it results in endless "I long-press a button, some random text gets selected"
sometimes it may result in you actually managing to trigger the popup
but sometimes nope
on normal PC you would just "inspect element" that shit out
and in general it's bullshit when you actually want to anything beyond "consume internet content"
