Adopting frameworks is a variation on the the Build vs Buy question, even when there's no money involved. Does the framework provide some features that are necessary for the technology but not core to what your business does? It's probably OK to use. A company that adopts a framework for its core business is essentially giving up any competitive edge, because any company that uses that same framework with the at least the same skill as your team will end up being a viable competitor.
