Sometimes, and sometimes that's a good thing:
- If ones own skills in coming up with a good app architecture are not so great (and that applies to the vast majority of devs). It can't stop bad devs from shooting themselves in the foot, but can help less experienced good devs to avoid straying away and taking wrong shortcuts,
- If ones own architecture style is sufficiently similar to the framework's than it saves time on repetitive, scaffolding work.
IMHO if you build more or less similar type of apps, and you absolutely can't find the right framework for you, then just build your own, save time. Eventually you will end up with something equivalent to the one anyway.
