True. But I also find that a lot of frameworks are narrowly optimized for solving specific problems, at the expense of generality, and those problems often aren’t the ones I have.

Supposedly declarative approaches especially are my pet peeve. “Tell it what you want done, not how you want it done” is nice sounding but generally disappointing when I soon need it to do something not envisioned by its creator yet solved in a line or two of general purpose/imperative code.
