Frameworks are overkill for most of my projects. Maybe it's because I don't write web apps, but I never need all of the features included in something like bootstrap. Just a few of the modules. What's more, I'm overwriting much of that code anyway when I style the site. In that regard, frameworks take more work, and make sites harder to maintain.
I find frameworks more useful for rapid prototyping. I can make a cheap wireframe with some bootstrap styles, and quickly move things around until I get the layout I like. then I'll build the final draft from scratch.
