I've been using Java on and off since 1996. It absolutely has had a ton of frameworks over the years. Yes, I realize many of them are niche or no longer in use, but that doesn't mean there isn't a legacy application where you have to maintain 10 or 20 year old garbage. FYI, I despise both J2EE and Spring. (Maybe Spring Boot is okay.)

Spring Boot is recapitulating the worst parts of old (like, 3.0-era) Spring. It's the biggest step backwards in programming history since... I actually can't think of anything worse.
