readability is my most important requirement
complexity is cryptic, expressivity is idiosyncratic and has a cognitive burden for each new person looking at the code
reducing error is the only priority that matters, comfort is not relevant

do you find it more comfortable to type less or read more?
obviously the former, have you considered learning to touch type?
we have these things called "clipboards" and "multiple cursors" in code editors now, the "type less" argument is void at this point
especially when you start talking about generics
simple fact of cognition that you don't understand because you are probably a relatively new and probably young programmer with very plastic brain
learning is harder than understanding
learning causes more stress, understanding relieves it
