I think you pegged it... the benefit is that you save time, the drawback is that you're limited in what you can do. I think you have to review each framework and chose one based on your personal preferences, the project at hand, etc.

I know this subject has been covered in the past, but my question is why
use them?  I'm hoping to not create a religious war...  I see that
frameworks would probably help you develop some things faster, but most of the time they don't do the things the way I would want them to work.
If I did use one, it almost seems like I would use it to get through
something  until I had time to do things the way I wanted/needed to do
them.  There's a lot of talk about frameworks lately, and especially
the Zend Framework, so I'd like to look into what it's all about.  I
think I might be missing out the framework issue, so I'd like to hear
other people's opinions.

I do like the mail, pdf, and a few other parts of the Zend Framework. I
also like that it's more like a set of tools than a monolithic beast
that would take a lot of memory just to load up into your application.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,
Ray
