I write my own mostly-modular parts. It isn't as flexible as I'd like it to be, but it does what I need it to do.

#23When using Java, I prefer Stripes. For a new project I would definately use Python and Django.

#25Django, because it has magical powers, who can beat that?
I used to be pretty big into Zend. I didn't like ActiveRecord in Ruby, or it always felt too confining, and liked the additional control over my models that Zend gave me.
I've recently become a Django convert (not for the pony, that was new to me just now) because the framework just works. I haven't quite worked out the magic required to stand up a Django/MySQL/Apache/Mod_Python server on Windows yet, but it's working perfectly in my VM, so I haven't pursued it very far yet.

#28In the recent years I have built my own, mostly basing it on other libraries and reusing as many things as possible.
In Python there's something called WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface) which makes it trivial to implement your own framework. Around 2 years ago I wrote a blog post about WSGI and how to quickly build a Python framework http://amix.dk/blog/viewEntry/105 In the recent years WSGI has grown a lot. Check out wsgi.org for more info.
One can learn a lot of things by making and using own stuff, but it can also be very frustrating (because of bugs and lack of resources). But generally, I like to use own my stuff and my own conventions - I know at least who to blame when some stuff does not work or something is "ugly" :)

#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
Rails. Anyway, I am not saying that Rails is better. I am just wondering how magical Django is?

#30CGI::Application in Perl. Just to be contrary. Well, not really. I still love Perl. Nothing wrong with the alternatives... it's just what I like.
