At JavaEdge http://www.jroller.com/scolebourne/entry/jdk7languagechangesjavaedge, it was the least popular of the 10 options presented (and more 'this is a bad idea' than any other proposal). I quite like it personally, so it wasn't presenter bias! That's interesting. Did you get any feeling for why it was disliked?
Not really. The closest I got was a sense that Java should be WYSISYG, and list[0] hides the .get(0) (and possible NPE).
I wasn't convinced, but equally I don't find this as compelling as ARM, NPE handling and extending for-each. As a result I personally voted them at the bottom - number 10 of 10, matching the general view.
