I've been programming in Java since I started working as a programmer. Learning to setup a Windows machine for Java development is difficult if you aren't familiar with environment variables and the like. Java, like C++, has gotten more and more features/keywords over the years. Frameworks like Spring Boot tend to make use of those features. Also, Spring Boot is a sit down and read the guides compared to something like Rails or ExpressJS and the like. Depending on your Java knowledge the documentation is going to be hit or miss I think. Also, convention over configuration makes it harder for new developers to get the hang of developing with a framework like Spring Boot because they don't know the conventions usually.
