I wouldnt consider Express as a framework.
It's just a router and a few middleware. Hapi or Actionhero are frameworks though rest ones.Express is definetly not a framework,it doesnt do anything much.
Writing Spring like, Symfony like frameworks is hard in nodejs. Libs are bad,often tightly coupled,and frankly nobody's maintaining nothing on the long run.

- SEMW 12y agojaquesm's requirements, per the linked article, are that "Sessions, authentication, routing, internationalization, MVC, caching, mobile, templating, ORM and so on should preferably all be part of the deal, so batteries included please". GP's comment was presumably made with that context in mind. Arguing for Express on the grounds that the word 'framework' doesn't imply those those things doesn't invalidate his requirements - definitions aside, Express clearly doesn't satisfy them.
