To use a framework, or not to: that is the question

“To be, or not to be: that is the question:” is the memorable quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet played in the 1600s. Programmers, today, have a similar dilemma.
When should a programming framework be used?
This takes me back many years to ‘Microprocessors 101’ course in my undergraduate studies. I quite distinctly remember our Professor telling us “Please do not use the Microprocessor to ring the door bell”. This simple and humorous statement carried a profound meaning. For everything there was a purpose. Just because it sounds cool does not mean that you have to use it.
