It was the previous sentence that resonated with me:
I’m a bit wary of using ‘heavy weight’ frameworks like Rails (or Django) on large custom projects. In my experience they make the first 90% of what I’m trying to do be really easy – but then make the last 10% a living hell since I need to modify something the framework never intended me to control.
That is a very true statement, in my experience. It's also an elusive insight, because once you commit to a framework you begin to interpret your problem, the universe, and everything in terms of the framework's conceptual space.
