Spring

From APIDesign

Spring is very popular enterprise Java framework. I am not its user or big fan, so I am not afraid to conclude that it is the sole reasons why:

• each enterprise error report contains at least 90% of useless reflection related stacktrace lines
• it is impossible to debug the XML based configuration
• it takes seconds before Java enterprise application starts (compared to few ms before a NodeJS app starts)
• users coding in other languages think Java is crazy (think of BeanFactory, BeanFactoryFactory, etc.)

The Spring framework is one of the reasons why Java is becoming the new COBOL!
