I think Cavin is making a good point very badly, which is a shame as the discussion of whether to use a framework or not for web applications is a very interesting one, and his unfortunate style of aggressive writing distracts us from that.
I think he is right that frameworks are not the best tool for large scale web applications. Generally web apps on this scale that I have been involved with want a finer granularity in the control, and optimisation of the response time. Also they are not right for small web sites, as they come with too much overhead for that. I think where they come into their own is in the middle. Here the trade off between speed of the application and speed of development is acceptable. In these circumstances using a framework (even if its Rasmus' "no framework framework" I linked to earlier) is a good option. Just my 2 pence....
