either you're very lucky or I've been very unlucky with our respective teams, as yes, it is perfectly possible to create a decent application without frameworks, but it's also incredibly unlikely, given that the average coder is incredibly mediocre at best and often does not even know basic engineering practices ~ i.e. see the success of function-signature-stealing-decorator-heavy web frameworks in py; that alone makes impossible to use constructor injection without "advanced" concepts like closures, but who cares, just instance from inside the controller and monkeypatch!!!1oneone

If the team is VERY skilled, VERY small and VERY able to keep the culture going forward indefinitely I'm all in for the homegrown framework; if not, I'd rather have a set of well done facilities that accrued many years of manhours i.e. cli commands out of the box, testing framework already well configured with decent standars like tx-wrapped tests, and so on, decent security, admin panels...

it's not a technical matter, it's a social matter. social matters are more important than technical ones.
