I don&#x27;t know, I think you&#x27;re over-characterizing this as a psychological decision. I tend to prefer libraries over frameworks for the simple reason that they&#x27;re usually much quicker to learn and use (because they have a single purpose), and they don&#x27;t box me into patterns I don&#x27;t want or need. I wouldn&#x27;t categorize that as like making me a control freak or untrusting of others design decisions, its a pretty pragmatic decision.
