This reminded me of "Why I Hate Frameworks," a great post from 2005 in the Joel on Software forums: http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/?joel.3.219431.12 http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/?joel.3.219431.12 -- my favorite quote from it: "I'll get around to building [it] one of these days, as soon as I've got my factory factory factory all up and running." Frameworks often are helpful, but as project complexity increases they tend to make it harder to get things done.
