I read a comment once, saying that Spring is a lot like the COMEFROM statement [0]. You are in a class, but you have no idea how you got there, or how to get somewhere else. Your IDE is no help, because everything is "decoupled".

I’m just learning about the COMEFROM statement, this exactly captures my reluctance with very modern apps. I especially despise checking permissions or caches using annotations, because you are never sure they are applied. I hope one day COMEFROM is as forbidden as GOTO.
