Almost every time it is better to invest in learning your framework well and learning patterns to work around framework's issues rather than learning a new framework.
First, it is naive to think the new framework does not have any problems. Marketing would like you to think everything is perfect but if that ever happened, why do we have new frameworks all the time?
Second, you will pay with decreased productivity while you are learning the new framework and you are not guaranteed to be more productive than with the old framework.
Third, due to decreased initial productivity, even if you potentially get more productive with new framework, it is going to take time to realize any benefits. If you are switching the framework too frequently you are cutting yourself off from the benefits.
- lmilcin 6y agoI forgot to mention there is actually one reason to learn new frameworks and it is to educate yourself on the tools that are available. If you do it correctly you can get 90% benefits with 10% effort. Just don't decide to build your new production application with a framework that you don't know or did little more than hello world.
