What do you mean: you must create a String? Because in the end StringBuilder does a String.valueOf(Object)? I think we can assume that most of the time it's a String being passed and that won't claim extra memory. And even with a very little bit of overhead I think it is worth over a simple API. Removing these methods will also spare some memory :)

I understand that JAnsi chose for their implementation with reset() to stay as close as possible to the actual implementation. But it is our job have user-friendly wrapper.

if we stay with only one concept, let's remove the methods with Object that
were suppose just to ease simple use cases

Do you really want that?

I'd love to see only MessageBuffer#method(Object message) signatures, so
we can remove the reset() since the already call reset() within those
methods.
Now it is a mixture of 2 concepts: one were the developer is responsible
for resetting it and the concept where every method does already the reset.
This will reduce the number of methods and we have one clear concept.
