It'll make a small project seem huge in no time flat, but that's the
price you pay for 'organization' and stuff.
But frameworks can also make a huge project seem medium which is the
advantage of organization. Also, it's quite often the case that a small
project grows and slowly becomes a big project. At which time the payoff
can be realized :)
Da, this is true. It's what separates the good developer from the merely mediocre: experience teaches how to code a small project quickly, but keep it organized and flexible to adapt to the inevitable growth and refactoring. A framework that reflects this flexibility is a help, one that doesn't is a hindrance.
