You can easily and correctly summarize Spring as follows. Spring tries to solve the problem of "applying parameters to function is boilerplatey" by creating a DSL for declaring and using global variables, because, global variables don't have to be passed around! And yet, ironically the reason we do parameter passing to functions (constructors factory methods, etc) is to avoid global variables. Spring is a fundamentally flawed waste of time, and it represents one of the biggest mistakes of the Java community.
