As a rule of thumb, "magic" is a code smell. Libraries should be preferred over frameworks whenever possible.
A toolbelt of small utility-like composables are often easier to maintain and reason about. This results in added explicitness (i.e. less magic, fewer surprises).
Personal experience shows that the immediate efficiency gains of a framework often get diminished in the face of all the hacks people introduce later, just to work around the remaining 10% of cases that the framework did not anticipate or traded-off against.
