I don't agree with the OP about frameworks at all. The code example shows about 10 lines of code that are "just to get the app started" but what it doesn't show is all of the places where there will be much, much less code.

Frameworks do require a bit of initialization code, but the whole point is that once initialized they save you tons of writing. They take care of boring stuff like authentication, basic code organization, certain security issues, etc.

There's nothing wrong with deciding not to use any frameworks, but to do so because it seems "cleaner" or "simpler" I think it misguided.
