Other than decreased performance and not using literals and operators directly, are there any other disadvantages to using BigInt and BigDecimal (in particular in Java)?
I think you pretty well summed it up. Decreased performance and more difficult to code and maintain (significantly so in comparison to native values and simple operators). Don’t get me wrong these classes absolutely have their place, but I wouldn’t use them without a compelling reason.
