I think in some cases (at least in mine) there is an aspect of "giving up" on the evolution of java the language ever happening. Things seem to take too long, or be talked about too much (and many people have objections to any change, possibly rightly so) that it all just seems too hard, so the idea of something like a fresh start is appealing. I came to that position about a year ago. It might not be the right position but it certainly improved my mood.
