I fail to see the revolutionary with Java's I/O System.

The author seems to have a chip on his shoulder, and starts out by counter-attacking everyone else that doesn't love Java :-)

After having explained that Java is extremely powerful and very easy to use, he sets out a journey of going through a number of I/O subsystems very superficially. In the process. he in fact manages to contradict his own claims of ease-of-use and fails to show the power in the I/O systems, as implemented by Java (to the reader).

Sigh, it's just crap.
