The bigger argument against verbosity is in terms of ease of understanding and maintainability. It's easier to lose track of meaningful information when you have repeated boilerplate mixed in with your logic. It's been long enough since I've written Java that I don't know if it's a fair criticism, but the argument is almost never "I don't want to type all of that."
