You can only live in the past for so long. To bystanders, you're falling behind by being cynical and ignorant of newer solutions.

Don't get me wrong. The world still uses the technology you mentioned at large, but the industry has in-fact built upon and grown alongside older technology.

I don't want to seem like I'm defending SpringBoot, ferchrissakes, but still fail to see a big impact of PWAs. Especially a positive one for the user, not mere ad clicks.

In general, the whole rich web app space reminds me of the "You're not making Christianity better, you're making Rock'n Roll worse" meme.

I am genuinely shocked that people don't like spring boot? It is very performant, open, and ergonomic in my experience.

2021 Spring and Maven could buy me chocolates and flowers all day long, I wouldn't forget what they did to me in the past...

But seriously, I'm okay with working with SB when I have to, but quite often in those situations Java wouldn't be my first choice, and it's still all the putrescence of proper Spring underneath. A framework for a framework, with a bit too much magic for me. Explicit is better than implicit.

While I certainly can fathom that other newer technologies are capable of solving interesting problems, I think my assertion is that the additional value they provide is not worth the risks involved in trying them.
