No, I don't think that would work. The web is a combination of resource linking and remote procedure calls. Web technology is really complex and is able to serve a huge amount of use cases. I don't think there can be one framework solving all the problems for all the use cases. So every framework focusses on a different aspect. I would turn your comment around. If you want to be successful in the web environment you need to learn about the fibres it is made of. As soon as you dive into I think all those frameworks will separate before your eyes quickly. Maybe it is good that you first come up with a problem you want to solve. With that specific information there are a lot of people here that can guide you. I'm being one of them. So just ask. Hope that helps, Norbert
