It annoys me. It's verbose and ugly.  But OTOH, I'm also thankful for
it, because it has actually helped me catch bugs in my code on a few
occasions -- when I forgot to write the default case.

So I dunno, I'm on the fence about this.  Maybe if there was a less
verbose way to indicate that the missing case was intentional?
