Totally agree. The modularity and the amount of “batteries included” can eventually become a negative. The last thing I want is for someone to reinvent RxJava yet it seems to happen in every one of the more bloated frameworks. “Are you familiar with reactive programming? Oh cool - but are you familiar with mixing RxJava and Spring’s reactor? That’s what we now have and it’s a real treat sometimes.” This is just one sad and possibly poorly outdated example as I haven’t worked with spring in some years now.
