Generally I think it's ideal to choose whether you're going to use a framework or not before you start coding. When you know what problems you need to solve and what your project needs to do, then it is time to evaluate what libraries/frameworks to use.

Obviously, we're all human and make mistakes, so it's perfectly acceptable to realise that a framework might help you, or that you should ditch it in favour of vanilla/another one later. That stuff happens. But I think then you'll be in a much better position to quickly make a good choice if you have already spent time thinking about it before you started coding.
