I would add that frameworks:

* promote helplessness by abstracting away fundamental but tedious tasks one ought to know how to do,

* erode the capacity for innovation by making it difficult to contemplate or impossible to implement solutions outside the framework's feature set,

* achieve an equilibrium I call 'mutually assured mediocrity' in which a programmer or organization necessarily vows to remain at the same low level of technology as their competitors.
