I was once, but haven't used it professionally for a while. It's on my "I'd rather not" list, but not strongly so.
Oh, and now that you described it with so many details, the attachment to complexity does look more like addiction than love.
This is why I ask. Java has changed a lot since ~1.8, and it is super common to see ex or non java developers making grandiose and sweeping statements about a community and language that they are no longer part of. Having developed in Java on and off since ~1.7 and Spring 3, I can certainly say that I have seen a strong movement towards less complexity and more convention. It's not perfect by any stretch, but I think saying that the space is "in love with complexity" is incorrect.
You of course don't have to go and re-use Java on my suggestion. We all have our preferences, and that's ok! But I would generally recommend against such sweeping and dismissive general statements about a culture that you are no longer part of. Things change, and your experience back then is probably not representative of things today.

There's a fine line between disagreement and insult, and you are over it.
