Answer
Annotations simplify configuration but can obscure logic.
Annotations reduce boilerplate code and centralize configuration. However, they can make the logic less explicit and harder to trace, especially if developers are unfamiliar with the annotations' behavior. For example, using @RequestMapping in Spring Boot simplifies URL mappings but abstracts routing logic.
