The real anti-pattern is "My application is simple, so I don't need a framework". Simple applications are ideal for frameworks. It's the crazy hard stuff where frameworks break down.

I completely agree here. I think frameworks excel at making easy-to-medium tasks nearly trivial. It's the space beyond the medium-hard task that frameworks have trouble with.
