I might have agreed with this at one time. A dedicated "framework" has documentation and additional software to shortcut assumptions, but a coherent design isn't different enough from the rules that guide any given framework to be a distinction. The biggest differences are how mature the frameworks are in breadth of documentation, guidance in how to achieve constrained goals (there is no "everything" framework), and supporting software to shortcut boilerplate.
