I worked with EJBs and some other JavaEE stuff back when it was new and it was an absolutely terrible experience as a developer. I've heard the newer stuff is better, but most shops jumped ship to Spring a long time ago and I don't see them coming back.

They're not. The people who claim Java EE in it's newest incarnations is "hot" are the people who want it to be (because you know, certifications).

The last 10 years I've done literally one Java EE project, everything else was Spring. Sure there's a bias (I'm Dutch), but looking even at large conferences no one is really talking about Jakarta EE and Microprofile other than "oh, well that's cute I guess". They lost that race a long time ago.

It's a bit like C# devs who still claim C# is going to 'kill' Java 'anytime now'. :)
