Maintenance programmers solely dictating what is cool or allowed is cruel to all programmers everywhere. This is right at the start of my post: > things nobody but me will ever use Plus, I imagine I'll rewrite for example my CMS from scratch and/or in a different language every 5-10 years either way, taking a good hard look at what I really ended up needing, and how to best structure it. If I ever used a framework for that, I'd end up forking it and throwing out the 90% things it has which I don't need, cutting out redundant layers of indirection etc., and then what? The next version of the framework comes out, and I do it again? Or I just give up and just take on the bloat? Nah. Not worth it for me.
