In case "framework" is understood as something that calls my code and that forces me to write my code in a certain way, I totally agree.

And I think twice before I use a framework. Frameworks enforce a certain way of programming which you can never be sure to match the problems you will have to solve in the future. Libraries don't do this - at least not to the extent of a framework. Libraries are composable building blocks.

Nevertheless, there may be applications where frameworks are beneficial (e.g. GNU Radio).
