I've been leaning toward what I call "helpers" instead of all-
encompassing frameworks. These allow you to mix, match, change, and
try without having to marry a big framework. They simplify common
tasks without taking over like a high-maintenance wife. You date
helpers, not marry them. Thus, they are easier to leave behind if they
don't work out. No divorce court. See:
