Well, there is a step beyond framework hell that can work, which is "living inside your own black box"[0]. This strategy intentionally supersedes the lower-level abstraction layers with a higher-level, application-focused one that eases rewriting the underlying stack "sometime down the road". It's nearly the only way you can get that.
