>"Frameworks limit your scope of creativity" - I get that.

I sort of agree, but I don't think it really matter that much. The majority of the work people do are basically just database front-ends. You put stuff in, you pull stuff out, your creativity is already severally restricted by the job at hand. It makes a ton of sense to pick a framework for your CRUD application, it speeds up development time by a lot, and the creativity limiting effect is negligible.

Frameworks like Django provides a ton of features that there's absolutely no reason to reimplement, because you're just going to do it wrong anyway. You're not going to get CSRF tokens right and you're user management system is going to have some weird flaw. It's not that people shouldn't try to write these things, they absolutely should, but not if they're just trying to do a quick application.
