>Unfortunately the web development profession has decided to shoot itself in the face and make framework-oriented development mandatory Frameworks are commonly used across many programming industries. It's also not any framework's fault that the PM (or you) chose the wrong framework. >just don't expect to be able to get a job doing that and do expect to be mocked as some sort of luddite. I've never heard anyone mocked as a luddite for using the simplest solution necessary to meet requirements, that sounds like something programmer's are complimented for (if they can show results). If you want a job where the employer uses a trendy framework... just learn the framework; it's either that or learn the company's hand-rolled framework, at least with a trendy framework you're also investing in potential future prospects.
