I don't like frameworks that force too much. Actually, I guess that
means I don't like frameworks at all, I like toolsets. Let the
programmer decide what he wants to do.

That said, though, there are times when a good framework can do 90% of
your work for you. The trouble comes when you want to do something the
author didn't think of - you might well end up either fighting against
the system, or modifying the framework to suit your task (and that
works only if you created it yourself). Thin frameworks are usually
immune to this, but on the flip side, they're less likely to be doing
most of your work for you.

It's really easy to demo something and show how awesome it is. How
easily can it be turned to a task it was never built for?
