Not sure why I'm getting downvoted, it was a serious concern I expressed, with 0 intent of insulting anyone



You're getting downvoted because this guy thought it was an interesting problem to think about, sat down and put some effort in, came up with something he liked (and which appears to be very good) and wanted other people to see it, and your input was, "isn't this a waste of time? People have done this before!"

The fact that frameworks are appearing at a ridiculous rate is also the reason people still feel compelled to make their own: the existing ones sometimes feel thrown together and flawed in obvious ways, so people automatically think about ways they could be better and try those things out. The result is progress (edit: sometimes the result is a bag of crap, but that's beside the point).

No, we don't need more frameworks. And yet that still isn't a good reason to stop building them, if for no other reason than to explore for yourself what goes into building one (if that's your interest).
