I get where you're coming from, it wasn't a particularly good metaphor I put forward. I would argue that there's some legitimacy in claiming that frameworks are just prepackaged collections of tools.

It's funny you mentioned hammers actually, the movie playing in my head when I was writing that post was of a neophyte hammering nails in all day, struggling to remove nails with some contraption, eventually deciding that there must be a better way to remove nails and inventing the hammer with nail extractor head.
