Not sure I agree with this . A dependency is a dependency and you should always think about whether you want that dependency. Whether it is a framework or not is not really the important point. The important point is how much does this dependency "lock in". e.g. if inversion of control is a framework "thing", doesn't that in principle minimize the impact of the dependency?
