Composing light frameworks can make for a frustrating developer experience. Individually lighter, when combined, the end result may end up more "uneven" compared to the cohesion of a single heavy framework. VS Code is one example of the composition of lights approach.

Rails community sees this a lot. Rails is fairly heavy and there are some great lightweight solutions like Sinatra.

But what I’ve seen many times is that by the time you finish adding all the missing bits you end up with something as heavy as Rails, but non-standard. So now maintaining it is a huge burden.
