Honestly, none of those differences you listed seems especially compelling to me, except possibly for the ?. operator.
What would be compelling: Array types that don't hate generics, or generic collection types that don't hate primitive types. Does Kotlin improve on Java at all here? It's such a pain having to remember this bonus complexity when all I want is a consistent way to manage a bunch of things. (I suspect not, as I think the limitations are at the JVM level, but I don't know.)
