I understand your frustration. I've felt it myself a number of times. Even if the ambition of web frameworks (Because you're not dissing server-side frameworks as such do you?) is to be unobtrusive, it rarely, if ever happens.

Funny. It hammers home the point that frameworks should have a usable default, regardless of how ultra-configurable the framework is.

Java frameworks have usable defaults? Since when?

Mmmm.... hate frameworks? don't use them.
problem solved.

funny, tell us more, how can we not use them and what to say on code reviews when you will be told to refactor that crap and dont reinvent the wheel (some people also dont like when you implement your own hashtable, just small amout of bosses encourage that)

"how can we not use them"
Ummm, just don't. How do you "not pour a cup of coffee"? Maybe I'm not getting what you were trying to say.

If someone is going to re-invent a framework, then they must not hate them *that* much.

Old. I've seen some of his forum posts on the joelonsoftware and he comes across as one of those guys who just likes to talk big.

And of course such guys are scared of letting others see what kind of code they write and whet frameworks they use. Case in point, this link below:
