It depends. If its something like my personal todo list pure-todo [1], I tend to write it down in less than a week without using any frameworks and hardly ever touch it again.

If it's something like m4b-tool[2] or tone [3], that has to be maintained for a while, I tend to use battle proven libraries or frameworks (in this case Symfony, because it is an older project and Spectre.Console and atldotnet for tone). I prefer libraries over frameworks though, less background magic.

However, I have the feeling that you also find something in this comment that you don't like - maybe the shameless advertisement of my FOSS projects ;-)
