In today’s cost conscious climate environment and easy way to bring the cost down on deploying new features is to not go it alone. The core of most project are the same, so why re-invent the wheel to get the new cool feature you want?
This is where Frameworks come into play, in that they cover all the boring but vital parts allowing more time for developing the the features you want.
FOSS infrastructure allows the cost of maintaining the core to be split amongst the whole community allowing for more efficient use of time on projects.
So its time to break out the cake and enjoy.
