This is perennial complaint of mine as well.

The Stream classes may be slightly older, in that it took all the way until
Java 1.1 [1] until they introduced Readers and Writers, but by no means does
that mean that Streams are deficient or no longer relevant. (What
"deficiencies" were found in Streams, anyway?)

I guess he means the unlucky decision to add a (since deprecated) readLine()
to the *InputStream-family.

The real difference, and the important one, is that Streams handle bytes and
Readers/Writers handle characters and their encodings.
So far it's clear, but it's not trivially obvious which *Reader class
can be wrapped on what *Stream class, and what interims-wrappers I need
to be finally able to read a whole line (->BufferedReader) from System.in .

I love the Scanner, though. Just pass it a File or System.in or a
String, and you get all the tokens you want.
