For me, I imagine the dropwizard guys sat round asking each other what the best servlet container is, web MVC tool, ORM, DI framework, etc, etc. and they choose the very best they can think of for a dev to work with.

Then a couple of years later that company comes along where they ask the same questions and but there's a guy with Tourette's in the corner and Every. Single. Time. the answer to the question is SPRING!! SPRING!! SPRING'S THE RIGHT ANSWER!! SPRING!

From the moment you boot spring boot and discover how much longer it takes to boot it's a struggle not to question the motivations of a place where the answer's the same no matter the question.

Sorry. I know some people love it!

Actually, in that company, the answer isn't always Spring Boot. Sometimes it's Cloud Foundry.
