The rules are there to determine HOW you do things so that you always code in the same way and keep it maintainable. This also facilitates better code reuse because if all your apps are coded in the same way, you should be able to take a module form one app and reuse it in another app without any problem. Rules do not have to reduce freedom, if they do then the rules are too strict. I have been using my framework for years, and I purposefully keep it as simple as possible so that I do not over complicate things and so that other developers can easily figure out what is going on. To date I have never had to break out of the framework or break the rules to achieve what I wanted. I have improved my framework over the years, building in new default functionality and features to make it faster to deploy, but in general the simplicity has remained.

Many people overlook that. Sure! But the question was why "more freedom" with rules than without? -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
