Mostly, I find it far less verbose with a couple huge convenience features that I'm constantly using and would feel very lost without; and, they all come as part of the language, rather than bytecode hacks / pre-processors, like lombak
I know they added the Result type later on, but there's zero convenience to it, so you have to manually handle every error, even if you just want to bubble it.
Checked Exceptions were better, though Rust still has the best error handling in any non-functional language.
In my experience I don't hesitate to recommend Lombok. It will generate getters/setter/builders/toString in a transparent way, without visible changes in the code. This keeps Java classes much more concise to read.
It also provides withers on records, while waiting for native support (it's coming)
