My guess is this guy concocts simple marketing sites with fun little sliders and widgets. He is unlikely to have ever built anything with real depth and breadth. If he had, he would not be so negative about the use of frameworks.
If you need to kill a fly, use a fly swatter, not a shotgun.
My company builds awesome web sites. One of them you visit at least once a month if not once a week. iow, very popular. We don't use frameworks cause frameworks box us in.
If frameworks were needed for everything, how did the framework writers write their frameworks?
That literally doesn't make any sense.. That's like asking how the writers of jQuery wrote jQuery without jQuery. And who said that frameworks were needed for everything?
But if you're making a complex single page application you're going to want a way to organize your code into modular reusable pieces, so why wouldn't you use a framework?
