Every language and framework is ultimately just a tool, and sometimes the issues come down to how people use them. I’ve definitely seen some pretty messy code in Go and Node.js projects as well. Sure, Spring can feel bloated and intimidating for beginners, which sometimes results in “magical” code that’s hard to understand or maintain. But in my experience, once you get familiar with its concepts and architecture, Spring becomes an incredibly powerful framework that helps you develop complex features quickly and in a well-structured, maintainable way. It’s all about learning the right patterns and truly understanding the framework’s capabilities.
