I don't accept the distinction between frameworks and libraries. Once past the most trivial stages, any codebase uses frameworks, often multiple of them. But they aren't all published or named as such. Often you create them yourself. I have myself written lots of things that work like a framework. Inversion of control is a powerful pattern. There really is no clear cut difference between a library and a framework. All depends on the mental model what you call what.

For a discussion that began with a clear definition of "what is a framework", you sure are spending a lot of effort muddying the waters. I for one strongly disagree with you on the idea that coders "accidentally" create frameworks, just like one might accidentally slip on a banana peel. I have written several codebases that have NOTHING resembling a framework in them.
