> Grails which is a web framework for Groovy that is based on spring boot. It's plugins

I thought Grails uses Spring Boot only from 3 onwards, and only versions up to Grails 2.x have a plugin ecosystem. Virtually no-one has upgraded their apps and plugins since Grails 3 came out in early 2015, and no-one's started new projects in Grails since then. To mention Spring Boot and Grails Plugins in the same statement is misleading.

I'll let the gripe about plugins pass because I think it's a bad metric for measuring how popular a framework is. How many of the plugins from 1.x and 2.x are even relevant anymore?

>...and no-one's started new projects

This is a ridiculous claim. It's just spreading FUD.

254 Grails 3 plugins [1] is not enough for you?
