In general, I would be against removing features just because they are confusing for beginners. I don't think that's a good design principle for a language that is primarily targeted at professional programmers and computer scientists.

They're confusing to beginners because they don't have consistent or sensible semantics. That should bother the professional programmers and computer scientists too!

Sure, but in fact it's the entire Enum class which doesn't have a consistent or sensible semantics, not just some particular instances. -Brent
