For junior developers reading this: frameworks are great, but they will become an increasing source of technical debt, performance loss, and frustration. They will allow you to ship your first version faster, but every release after that will become harder. Not that it wouldn't be hard without a framework either, but frameworks make us feel that we need to work within their constraints rather than the constraints of our application and our users.

So learn a framework for whatever language you use, that's useful! But also learn to recognize when you are working against the framework and would be better served with a few libraries that you can combine in the way that you need. Frameworks optimize for certain use cases and expectations, and if your project is no longer aligned with those, it's probably a good idea to think about an exit strategy.
