Once they need to be assigned to variables and they take multiple lines and maybe even constructed dynamically their readability is lost. As a developer I read java code faster than contents of strings (especially when need to write Java inside strings when using javassist). The other thing is also writeability. The auto completion for the query looks cool. I guess the most important reason for such a tool is that most errors are eliminated compile time. Your tyopos won't be catched in the string contents but will from the java code by the compiler. Yeah, the captcha stuff sucks. SQL queries are readable.

Ask yourself, do programmers really need to jerk-off with their language of choice in this way as you posted above? I can imagine your hard work, but i am pretty sure you master SQL and writing a bloody plain old sql query is more appealing even to you. (hell captcha code you have here, misread/refreshed it 5 times) select c.lastname, c.percentSolved from customer c where c.isActive>0 and c.percentSolved is not null and c.refoundSum is not null order by c.id
