Hi you will still be able to run JSPWiki within all these application servers, as it will still build a war file that is deployable anywhere.
What it makes easier is the development/testing (CI/CD) process, I think. It also means more developers might be interested in participating as they know Spring. You are right though, a better front end UI for mobile would be valuable. But I guess I'm more of a backend developer and curious whether anyone has any thoughts on the roadmap for back end?
