It would have been intuitive indeed, that's why I think it's somewhat of a design flaw. But it won't be retrofitted, since StringBuffer is defined to use Object.equals(), and you can't change that now. It would break backwards-compatibility.

Suddenly StringBuffer a = new StringBuffer();

StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();

System.out.println(a.equals(b));

would return true instead of false.
