>I feel like the web programming world doesn't really need new frameworks, does it? Rails or Django got mainstream adoption because there was a need at the time Of course we do. Those frameworks appeared because what was available at the time wasn't perfect. Rails/ Django addressed a number of pain points and made more rapid development possible. But development still takes time and creates bugs, so there's still room to improve. Plus coders are always going to reinvent the wheel, so frameworks will continue to appear.
