I think the bottom line with this is you shouldn't be using a framework as the entire architecture of your application. Frameworks usually are designed to do a few things very well, in the case of web frameworks, they provide the mechanisms needed to receive http requests and return responses elegantly along with rendering output from the server-side language into an HTML format. Beyond that, there is a much larger world of application architecture and design that goes beyond any "canned" framework. Web frameworks are great and very much fill a need but they aren't a panacea to make every project trivial.
