While sleeping on the bus this morning, I had what I considered a rather 
interesting thought.

Coding frameworks all have the objective of making it easy for 
programmers to do work quickly.  My thought was, that these frameworks 
are split into two groups, due to their usability targets.

The best frameworks (imo) are those that make it easy for professionals 
or experts to work quickly.

The worst ones are those that try to make it easy for novices or beginners.

Each set of frameworks is difficult for the opposite set of programmers 
to use, but the first holds potential for novices to learn, while the 
second will never be useful for experts.  Hence the greater value of the 
first set.
