Blog - 5 Reasons why I think I will not use Spring

[karldmoore]

Since Spring's gotten enough of these types of articles published at this point, I wonder if the i21 folks (or the community) would be interested in publishing some articles comparing and contrasting Spring with other frameworks. I think a lot of the hubris is solely based on ignorance of what Spring is actually good at (that was my impression reading many of the comments on TSS and the author's blog). Thoughts?

The complaints general seem to focus around XML, but there have been numerous articles answering this in the past. It would be good to see some more articles as you say, if it's from the source would people believe it?

I think there are some valid points regarding the XML configuration, but all of these can be addressed in one way or another. IMHO, the point has been hashed and re-hashed soooo many times now there's not that much more to say.

Keep posting javaconfig as an alternative but until it is out of experimental status and not so 'subject to change' who's going to rely on it?
