A software framework is an abstraction that allows to selectively updating software that provides generic functionality by adding additional code written by the user. Basically, a physical or conceptual structure is used to support or guide the construction of something that grows the structure into something productive. Many effective software teams start with frameworks as their foundation. Bundled code libraries, software modeling, APIs, and a myriad of other capabilities, which are included in these frameworks, make programming considerably faster and more effective. Therefore, software engineers often delve into various frameworks for development and other purposes. A survey has been conducted and opinions from teachers, students, and developers were solicited. This paper examines the results of the poll and tries to explain what soft- ware engineers, students, or seasoned developers experience when switching to a new framework in the middle of a project.
