The "verbosity" of Java (or other statically typed languages).
I love knowing exactly what things are and where they are coming from. Plus it is that same verbosity that allows incredible autocompletion -- meaning that I type a small fraction of the the code in my src folder.
All that being said some type-inference à la Scala is nice too :)
