Oh, if only you get error messages. My most common mode of failure in Spring is "nothing happened". Which there's no way to debug, or Google. At least error messages show up in Stack Overflow. You missed an annotation, or provided the wrong kind of annotation, and Spring just said, "Well, apparently that code doesn't matter."

Inversion of control means you have no control.

At least Spring has switched mostly to annotations, which are sorta like Java. The IDE can spot some errors.
