What about maintenance of the framework? It can be a nightmare, not all frameworks are considered equal (I’m looking at you, SailsJS). And even mature frameworks come with plenty of woes WRT patching vulnerabilities. But, that can be attributed to the programming language package manager ecosystem. I will admit that I miss Spring Boot, it ruined all MVC frameworks after that for me other than native stuff like Swift. I just build mostly from scratch now, (update) [using MVC monolith] feels icky because I’m not trying to start a company or working at a startup. Frameworks are bad suggestions in mid/late stage company. It’s nice to drop some value bombs, but if you intend to stick around for many years and you got more than 10 engineers in your organization, don’t choose a monolithic framework because it just makes the politics of getting your framework broken out into logical parts (ie micro services) a PITA. That’s my two cents.
