Sorry, but even if the comparison is not explicit, it's still there. And my whole point is that your title is false: size doesn't really matter for a framework

Sorry, but even if the comparison is not explicit, it's still there. And my whole point is that your title is false: size doesn't really matter for a framework, at least at the size differences you're talking about. This is like comparing cars based on the size of the stereo knobs.
