If you choose a framework, you’re choosing to ride together and really do things the way the framework wants things done.

This is a really important point. Frameworks are usually quite opinionated about code structure, sometimes even requiring files to be in certain directories, etc., and it's worth taking time to learn to work within the structure the framework wants. Trying to take one framework and make it work like a different one is just going to cause more frustration for everyone.

"... usually quite opinionated..."

Nearly always very opinionated in my experience.
