This really has nothing to do with not wanting to work someone else's way. It's about not wanting to be forced to do everything just one way, because the framework is incompatible with any other way of working. It's about not wanting to give up half the tools in my toolbox in favour of just one. Not being forced to use that hammer to try and saw, plane and drill, as well as drive nails.

Let's be precise. If you just don't like some introduced frameworks then it makes sense to talk about those frameworks and not about frameworks in general. And really, frameworks don't force to do everything their way. After all, you have the full right to create the whole Xwindows from scratch using your own idea how it should work. But you don't, because in real life you can't. So the existing framework is GOOD thing. It saves you lots of work. As a payment for having good thing you should do much smaller work of adjusting your needs to that existing framework. And if you think a little, then usually you can find fairly easy way to join 2 different frameworks. For example, event driven application can nicely coexist with threads or other processes. They just should communicate using pipes.
