Are you familiar with the idea of the Turing Tarpit? We have a similar thing here: The issue isn't whether you can do X with/without framework Y. It's whether framework X is more cost effective vs. framework Z (or no framework): Does it require less/more boilerplate? Is it less/more error-prone? Does it mean that more/less experience is needed to do the right thing? Does it mean that testing becomes harder/easier? &c.
