I belong to the second type. I believe it's a great asset to have in business. Most often less code means shorter development time and cheaper maintenance.

People knowing a framework will often use it for everything. Instead looking at the problem and find the easiest solution to it offers great time to marked.

I've proudly deleted more code than I've written at work.

The easiest solution you can imagine. These are 90% of the time cute tricks that narrow down the scope of the solution so far it makes the surrounding code unmaintainable after a year.

I learned to call those people "Ricks" they are best used in walled of projects that are not expected to change. Not useable in cooperation.

Agree on the importance of deleting code, but with "less code means shorter development time and cheaper maintenance", I don't think I've ever seen a program without a framework use "less code" than it would using one.
