Kind of a useless argument. Frameworks are designed to predict the future about how they're going to be used. They're often wrong in that prediction but people try to write frameworks nonetheless. If you're not using a public framework then you're writing one from scratch. If you're writing a framework from scratch then you're predicting the future. If you're predicting the future you'll probably be wrong, and the person who came after you is stuck using your framework. Since most people don't greenfield apps, most people will be stuck using someone elses framework. The problem with frameworks is the problem with software. How do we design things such that the design has enough flexibility to perfectly anticipate the future?
