More inflammatory and light on substance than it could be, but to extend charity to the author and talk about the subject: the decision isn’t between a framework and no framework, the decision is between an existing framework and your own. At some point you will (you should) start to come up with your own abstractions and these will become the framework.
There are real benefits do doing this, but there are also drawbacks (if this is your first time doing it, you’re probably going to make mistakes).
