You mean the new Spring Security deprecating some of the older APIs? I agree that the new version changes a lot of stuff but IMO these changes are much more welcome and more streamlined than before. It’s better to do it once and you don’t have to touch the security config all too often once it’s done.
I don’t understand the bad rap that Spring gets. Compared to the other frameworks around (Jakarta EE, etc) it’s much more accessible than people realize, plus a very mature ecosystem.
