Some programmers want to draw a line in the sand and say that on this side is "my" code and the other side is acceptable third-party code - without really considering each project itself. Frameworks are really just a collection of libraries that are already connected together and organized in a specific way. If it doesn't add value to the project then don't use it. If it does, then use one. You could make the same argument about any level of abstraction, from the OS, to the language, to a web server, to a client-side framework, etc.
