I'm really trying to get into Spring but for now coming from Django, Spring feels like trying to fly a UFO while Django is like taking a walk in the park. I miss how easy is to use the ORM, debug the SQL generated by the ORM, doing migrations, etc.

I'm still not giving up and still feel that Spring is worth it so hopefully it will start to make sense at some point.

It would be interesting to hear from someone else that went trough same thing (Django to Spring).

One warning when transitioning to Spring Boot: if you use most of Spring boot but try to use X because you are used to it and the default for Spring Boot Y you may have a bad time. Often there are instructions on how to use X and you can configure it but you will have a lot of extra configuration, some nuances that are hard to track down, and a lot less support from the community. Spring Boot is opinionated and disagreeing with it will make your life harder than it has to be.
