If code review ends with lengthy explanation over why not use "foo".equals(someVariable) or some other maintenance/readability/effectivity/other important consideration non-affecting issue, I see something wrong with code review.

I agree... StringUtils is awesome, but "foo".equals(someVariable) is not a case where it's use is important.

In this case code review is actually the reviewer trying to boost ego and stamp authority on reviewee
