I think my statement was fair. I believe I said some frameworks are 
more flexible than others. But no framework covers all possible 
domains (except the null framework) and no framework is useful 
outside its domain.

FWIW, I like frameworks, but I'm not going to bother learning one 
unless I'll be spending some time inside its domain.
