Well I think we'll just have to disagree here. I think you are patently wrong if you really believe you can keep up maintainability of a largish codebase by appealing to craftmanship in a real-world company. This is all nice and well in academics and start-ups but some years down the road, your code is going to be a mess. Frameworks, especially opinionated frameworks are a tremendous help. Coding in jQuery or native JS without some prodding is at best an accident waiting to happen.

In my experience, the only reason the code is going to be a mess is because the company hired a bunch of junior developers and gave them "Architect" titles. I can show time and time again that with a team of seasoned engineers the code not only isn't a mess but in fact there is less code that does more, and does it more efficiently.
