Well, I can't really keep up the devil's advocate thing on this one. But 
the programming convenience and performance advantages of late-model 
JVMs and the of the Java language are not negligible, in my opinion.

I'm sure you'll balk at this--I would--but I'm seeing some library JARs 
released in multiple versions, depending on which version of Java / JVM 
they are to be used with. The JGraphT and Javolution libraries do this, 
e.g.. Both use generics and have some sort of retro transformation that 
renders their source code pre-1.5 compatible. I don't know offhand 
whether they use any of the new library / compiler types such as 
Iterable and if so how they handle that.
