Same thing with Grails, though they've improved support for Angular lately. I prefer vanilla js anyway, its what I used 15 years ago, and it is what I will continue to use the next 15 years and hopefully a lot longer.

OTOH Grails 2 invites people to use the awful formRemotes, which apparently are an idea lifted from old versions of Rails, and are a mishmash of html and javascript. Seems quite an opinionated approach on how you should build your frontend.

Luckily Grails 3 dropped it, but the project I'm working on at the moment is stuck on Grails 2... and Grails 3 is a complete rewrite of the framework
