It's not really all that controversial of an opinion to say that no one needs a fat framework in 2016. It's much easier and nicer and more maintainable to use a collection of small tools than one monolithic solution.

I think that Django is a good example of this. It's a batteries-included framework, but its architecture allows you to strip or replace parts of it. Sometimes it's easier to start from a fat framework and "prune" your way to where you want to go, than instead re-invent the whole universe. Above all, again, it depends.
