Inventing the wheel over and over. Surely out of the billions of half-baked to fully-baked frameworks out there must be something suitable for everyone. How far would you take it? Write your own PHP, why not write your own OS, heck build your own computer while you're at it :)" You don't offer anything up. Only that pursing the creation of a framework is "extremely inefficient use of precious time" by relating it to Inventing of the wheel over and over. You go on to suggest that surely there is something suitable out there already. Then you attempt to suggest the idiocy of doing so and liken it to attempting to writing one's own OS. > 2) just jump right in a create a kickass framework > > Please note the distinction between possibility and probability.

The comment about serendipity was a generalized statement that neither added nor subtracted to the argument about creating a framework from scratch. Again, please stick with the program.
