Java's syntax has the advantage of having to type less when the
annotation has no arguments: @annotation vs. [annotation].
In both cases you have a two-keys overhead.
No, why?

Maybe you have a different keyboard layout than Kagamin and me.

On a US layout --
@  is Shift+2
but [ and ] are single keystrokes.

--bb

Back when I started programming on a french canadian layout, most of these symbols were located at crazy places, like ? is shift-6, [], {}, <> are all found using right-alt + one of the many keys close to enter, which are used for accents, really annoying. Even the backslash is located at right-alt + the key left to 1.

And people here wonder why I custom order my laptops and keyboards to get native US layouts..
