> Sorry for my ignorance, how is this different, better than Martini? What is the main goal of creating a new framework (instead of getting the features you are missing implemented in the currently existing ones)?

I truly do not understand this reasoning. Why build anything new at all if you can "improve" on something existing?

(the answers range from "because the existing doesn't facilitate the changes I would like to make" through to "learning experience", and everything in-between).

It is (thankfully) the opposite of this thinking that has given us the myriad of popular and useful web frameworks in other languages (Flask, web.py, Bottle, Sinatra, et. al) that all aim to solve different problems and/or offer differing levels of complexity/kitchen sink.
