Frameworks railroad your code. Good frameworks are much better than no framework - they railroad it in a way that keeps your code adhering to clean patterns and doesn't railroad you in such a way that it prevents you from doing everything you want. Bad frameworks are 10x worse than no framework: * By railroading you they prevent you from doing legitimate things that you want - usually things the framework creator never anticipated. * With a nightmare framework you may end up having to debug stacktraces that involve not a single line of code that you wrote. I remember when this used to happen with me in Spring when I misconfigured some XML (a long time ago).
