I'm wildly confused by your comment, Dropwizard is 'all inclusive' but Spring is a micro-framework? Flask is both?

My takeaway is that somebody who is confused about library design is more likely to enjoy a heavy framework, but that their choice of framework is mostly arbitrary.
Spring is as micro as Java gets. Probably not a great example but its the best one I could think of at the time of the comment. Flask is a singular framework that has an ecosystem around it with plugins/extensions.

Dropwizard was created as the minimalist counter point to Spring/EE.

I'm a Spring dev & ya its about as thick as it gets.
