As you get more experienced in programming you'll inevitably inherit projects that you didn't have any say over, when that time comes come back to this comment, I'd be interested to hear if you still feel the same way.

I have inherited such projects. But it seems like you're talking about code that is no more complex than hello world, as you've quoted, so it wouldn't be too complex to do in any language or framework. Now if you do inherit a larger project that you don't like, well, you either work on it or you switch jobs.

Which you wouldn't have to contemplate if your predescessor had simply used the right tool for the right job, right? Such as not using an over-engineered framework for a problem that didn't need to use one. :)
