Java is strange because it can be both verbose and magical at the same time.

Just the other day I ran across an issue where spring was wiring things up correctly on Linux but not Windows.

I too dislike dependency injection frameworks. I try to always wire manually myself. I'm tired of debugging old SpringFramework apps where changing the JVM by a patch level or changing one JAR dependency breaks the wiring. I have seen it too many times to count.
