I totally agree. I use java for every possible coding script or task. I have been using it in my company for last 5+ years and have understood the language too well to be able to switch to something else and learn its caveats. In my comfort zone with java and I love that its being actively developed and improved every day.

Are you in the comfort zone with Spring as well?

I can only speak for myself, but I was lucky to be exposed to Spring Boot back in the v1.5 days after spending a few years creating Java programs without any framework. No XML at all, configuration by code, and opinionated default configuration that covers most use cases.

The learning curve was not that hard, and I got comfortable with it.

In contrast, I find React, Next.js and other frameworks more complex, and it takes a lot longer to be comfortable
