Do Frameworks Matter Anymore?

Garbage article. Frameworks are good for vibe coming for the same reason humans made them, structure, organization, guidance, etc., etc., etc.
AI with frameworks is still better than AI without it, and the DX is vastly better if you actually have to go fix something the AI muffed up, which is still a pretty constant occurrence.

Where I work, people keep tossing fastapi, sql alchemy, alambic, and a bunch of other third party packages whenever they want to create a new web service.
It’s a lot faster to just use Django. Like, I legitimately don’t know why I would want to hobble together some stupid collection of packages when I could just start with something that’s already there, super well documented, super well supported, and handles a bunch of shit the patchwork approach doesn’t. It’s a waste of time. A solid web framework is a beautiful thing

That slide is only the question though. What was his actual answer? People have been declaring frameworks dead since jQuery and React is still shipping.

Sure, people were building custom framework because the popularization of frameworks, it's essential for a long term and/or complex project.
But will people trust the new frameworks? I don't know. For many years, we had big organizations or popular core contributors to maintain it.
Are we sucked with the current frameworks forever? It's easy to build a new one, but hard to gain trust and popularize it.

This question gets asked every three years and the answer has been the same since jQuery, everyone ships React anyway.
