    I know some people don’t have the choice but if you do, please choose something better. That garbage does not deserve your effort.

      It’s not garbage, it just has some flaws - as does everything. The Spring and Java/JVM ecosystem can be a huge advantage if you know how to use it - which sometimes means diving into library code when docs aren’t sufficient.

        As someone who uses Django every day, I can tell you that the code is almost secondary to the amazing documentation. The documentation is such a core part of a framework that I don’t see how it can be usable without really good and up to date documentation.

        The fact that spring boot’s documentation is so bad that it’s impossible to even find a reference for a class you’re using is, I’m sorry to say, garbage.
