> For all the hate Spring gets, it’s extremely widely used in the enterprise. Not sure why? It mirrors the way the enterprise works, with a myriad of services where no one knows what the other is doing and that has to work together through some kind of magic. > Worked with a lot of frameworks and the fact is every requires you to learn the way to think about how to work with that framework It is not my experience. Only "action at a distance" type frameworks are like that, and Spring is all about that. Frameworks where you are mostly just calling functions are usually much easier to get into with just a bit of example code and manpage-like documentation.
