If you hit a bug with a popular, open-source framework, the odds are great that others have as well and it will get escalated and solved quickly. The same can't be said for closed-source, proprietary frameworks. Also, writing it entirely yourself always leads to re-inventing the wheel over and over again. Furthermore, I have yet to see any proprietary framework that wasn't in some shape or form a poor knockoff of something already existing in the open-source world.

But you don’t write your own framework, you write a program. Not trying to make something too generic can keep things much simpler.
