Eli5: senior dev here, 18 years experience in tech. I don’t get why spring boot/batch is so highly rated. I absolutely hate it. Please tell what I’m missing?

Is it tho? Or is it just because there are so many legacy systems made by it and stagnant excuses of a seniors not bothering to learn anything else?

I hate spring with a passion.

Fuck that pile of shit.

Coming from years of Microsoft stack, then a few years of Go, then being dumped in a Spring team, Web Forms was the worst PoS I worked with... until I encountered Spring. Dot net MVC with razor was way nicer to work with.

The java community seem to look down on MS, but honestly, C# overtook java 15 years ago, and has outpaced it ever since IMHO.

For the record, I also fucking hate spring. It might be that too many bad developers work with it, the systems I have to work on are horrifically (over) engineered.

Haha finally something I agree with
