you don't need frameworks in any language - the frameworks (for mature frameworks) are almost always modular enough that you can use the parts without the whole.

I prefer frameworks the same way I prefer code linters and formatters. Which is to say they are annoying, but far less annoying than working with a team that spends obscene amounts of time discussing/rewriting code based on opinions. Frameworks come with their own opinions and can help remove a lot of those barriers.
