seems to be mostly criticism of spring rather than java

the company behind spring should ruin go by porting their crappy library to it

(oh look, it's broadcom....)

Agreed, the spring framework is completely against the spirit of Java. Yeah, auto-wiring was a terrible idea - why do I have to guess what components are going to be pulled in? And why do I have to figure this out a runtime?

The features of Spring Boot are nice, but Spring itself should probably be put out to pasture. Someone needs to write a good alternative to Spring and start promoting it like crazy (probably something exists).

Micronaut? Quarkus? Depends on what you need.

Quarkus seems pretty good overall. No real issues with it.

Still more config than I'd like but that comes down to the fact it is more for services than MPA webapps.
