Re:Frameworks Don't Make Much Sense by cryptos on Friday March 11, 2016 @02:15AM (#11265160)
I disagree. The question whether to use frameworks or not is a bit more complex. As everything in software engineering, like choosing a framework, is a trade-off. Frameworks come with a price and it depends on the context, whether it pays off or not. I've seen some really terrible in-house "frameworks", because someone decided not to use a framework. And over time the few "helper" and "util" classes evolved into a poorly structured and poorly documented framework with poor test coverage.

Common frameworks are (in general) not only better structured, better documented and tested, but it is far more likely that new developers have some knowledge of them, whereas your in-house code-dump is not known by anyone else.
