Well, there is a step beyond framework hell that can work, which is "living inside your own black box"[0]. This strategy intentionally supersedes the lower-level abstraction layers with a higher-level, application-focused one that eases rewriting the underlying stack "sometime down the road". It's nearly the only way you can get that.

But it does require a good understanding of what the application is and does, and a lot of software isn't that: it's just more stuff that has a behavior when you click around and press keys.
