Spring is old. The negativity comes from the the time where ppl would jump to Rails or Django instead of dealing with the config explosion/unnecessary complexities for startups/verbosity of the java at the time.

Now, we have modern java + simpflified saner default named spring boot, that's a different story

Spring boot has driven spring to be a lot simpler as well. Further other frameworks like Micronaut and Quarkus have driven spring boot to be better.

There's been some real symbiosis among the backend frameworks that has caused them all to lift in quality.

Kotlin + Spring/Boot is an amazing combination for backend work. The Spring/Boot Team have poured a lot of energy into making it very graceful to use.
