If you want to promote an alternate paradigm you might want to learn to directly argue in favor of your alternative, tather than randomly attacking things that don't fit your personal aesthetics.

I'm also not particularly enamored with the current state of affairs although my pet peeve is more with the lack of adoption of functional reactive programming. That doesn't mean though that I refuse to acknowledge what (or when) Spring was good for or how it fits into the evolution of the industry.
