That's just it though - I wouldn't call anything we've built a "framework" at all. All of the projects were much simpler at their core than most frameworks I've ever dealt with. Of course, "framework" might have different definitions for different people. To me, by definition, a framework tries to be more generic than a custom solution, has more features that appeal to more than one use-case, and is designed to be flexible and fit multiple projects. The solutions I've had major success with were none of those things because the benefits we got (deeper knowledge of our stack, faster iterations, and features no one else could touch) way outweighed any perceived benefits of using something mostly off-the-shelf.
