This is totally uncalled for. He's not attacking you. He's explaining a tradeoff, very reasonably.
> I would even say that if this is not a core part of your product, you are simply wasting time and resources.
I find especially interesting that this phrase can be used to defend both sides of the argument. If you are building a highly rich application, chances are that using a framework for that is the right choice, agreed.
But.
Not all the apps being build out there need to be Very Rich Apps. There's indeed a lot of space for only-slightly-rich-but-mostly-static apps, despite the recent HN article.
And for those, introducing a framework is ... precisely, a waste of time and resources.
Their comment is perfectly reasonable and measured. I don't think anything in it is 'uncalled for'. Your own comment is a confusingly ironically ill-tempered response.
The phrase “The frameworks that you dislike so much” is not an argument. It’s a characterisation. It implies that the OP is blinded by his own personal preferences, and that his arguments have no weight because of that.
Imagine if I had started my answer with “Since you love frameworks so much, then…”. That would have been a similar mischaracterisation on my part (equally uncalled for, since I don’t know the other person enough to make such judgement)
