It makes me wonder what it is that actually makes a framework "take off". Clearly it is not ease of use nor cogency of the code one needs to write, nor even how well the developer can express their intent. I sometimes suspect that all this churn and complexity in the latest frameworks is some kind of unintentional group-think that optimizes for job-security by making work much more difficult than it really needs to be.
