That brings up the old debate between framework vs library. My personal conclusion had been don't use frameworks, rather use libraries.

- itake 4y agoI am getting bit in the butt right now for using the ionic framework for building a multi-platform mobile app. If I want to build a mobile app in JS, but not use a framework (ionic/cordova/react native), how do I proceed? While I admit framework-driven cross platform mobile apps are bad, even native code is vulnerable to OS updates shifting the ground from underneath them. How do you use a library in mobile app dev?
- jonwinstanley 4y agoSurely in this situation a framework is pretty much your only choice? Trying to do this yourself would be very complex and stop you from writing your actual app?
- itake 4y agoI agree. I feel like OP's advice is heavy handed.

You've created a completely new interaction between those sets of libraries and you get to debug those interactions instead of your own code for a portion of your time. I've seen this with python flask REST environments where folks pull all these tiny pieces off the shelf and stitch them together. Meanwhile Django REST Framework has a mostly common baseline that you adopt and then diverge from as needed.
