For junior developers reading this: frameworks are useful if the tradeoffs they make are right for your current situation. They are good tools when used wisely. However, developers who are heavily invested in a specific framework will often try to sell them as "great" but recognize that their investment biases them and may result in "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" syndrome, causing these one-trick ponies to advocate their favored framework even in situations where other frameworks or even no framework is a more sensible solution.
