> But I also spent some time with modern Spring Boot, and I get where the hate is coming from. There is a lot of complexity that just doesn't seem necessary at all.
I'm sure there is some (very high) level of inherent project complexity where the massive number of abstractions and tools that Spring Boot gives you (and forces on you) actually starts turning into a net positive... And I'm also fairly sure that most projects don't quite break even, and would be better off with something more lightweight.
