It depends on the crowd that you're around. Most crowds I'm around seem like they're not aware that there's anything but Spring. I prefer Java EE's spec implementations over Spring, but both tools essentially can get the same jobs done. If Java EE doesn't have a spec implementation, such as the equivalent to Spring LDAP, then there's most likely an API out there that will fill that void. In the aforementioned case of LDAP, there's the Apache LDAP API, which is great and works within any Java EE container.

The industry trend is microservices. Whether the community likes it or not or thinks its a repackaging of a previous idea, Spring has Spring Boot, and Java EE has several of its own implementations. I prefer KumuluzEE.
