To Framework or Not To Framework

An article on Reg Developer titled "The 'f' in framework" has given me food for thought.

/begin rant

Do we really need to design complex frameworks, or even buy complex management systems for our websites? Almost every project I have been on the first thing that is suggested is the purchase of a framework or some workflow system. To me these add a complexity that needs to be addressed, they do NOT automaticaly fix your problems.

I also find it annoying that just because someone says they want workflow that it means we need a system to manage it. Hello?!? Maybe they just want you to pay attention to how they use the app and how it needs to guide them through the business process.
