>This may be a bit of an extreme view, but I don't like frameworks at all. In general.
I don't think giving an opinion such as "I don't like frameworks" without any concrete source code of non-trivial projects is productive discussion. (My previous comment about "unnamed invisible frameworks" : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14172165)
>They are nice for little "hello world" applications that demonstrate how easy it is to create and deploy a new project,
It's the opposite. A good framework that fits the problem domain does a lot of low-level gruntwork that frees the programmer to focus on higher-level tasks.
It's not libraries OR frameworks. Real-world complex applications can use both.
