This for me (being a small shop) is why I've extensively adopted a framework like Fusebox. Most of my projects are not going to become an Amazon.com anytime soon, while this doesn't mean I should write sloppy code - it does allow the flexibility of allowing a bit of a processing overhead in lieu of manageability and the ability to bring in external talent to easily assist me in changes (if needed) by providing a good set of standards and the Fusebox docs. I don't have to spend precious time educating another developer on the intricacies of a custom framework. Despite what organizations like Rational think (in the sense that there is no such thing as RAD development) - I mean, come on now, how many developers out there have had the "I needed it yesterday" conversation with a client? I find having the ability to quickly find and make changes to medium sized projects, forced structuring of code and application processes to be a boon.
