Frameworks do not compose. Libraries do. If you need a framework, your language has failed.

No one needs a framework, but if one makes things easier then what is the problem?

What, in your mind, is a good language that needs no framework?

Everything has a cost. As I said, frameworks do not compose and often fundamentally take away control. If you want to change the behaviour of your framework, you need to hope they have created the necessary callback interfaces.
