I don't see "not needing to write docblocks" as a win, quite the
contrary. In fact, in a number of projects I worked with, code without
proper documentation (including docblocks) simply wasn't accepted into
the repository.

While I don't think this needs to be mandatory, I also don't see major
difference - so you have to write type instead of docblock, you still
have to write something.
