He forgets what the main purpose of frameworks are for, doing all the boring repetitive bits, so I can get down to writing the new and interesting parts of my web app. For example doing form validation, and displaying the errors back again is really common, and annoying. Any good framework makes it painless. And what about running on multiple databases. What happens if I need to be able to support MySql and Postgres? Really hard without a framework.
