Why did you write your own framework?

I'm curious to those who have written their own framework.

  1. Do you still use it?

  2. What features did it have?

  3. What was the advantage of your framework over a more populair option?

I have a sideproject framework, that is used in 4 production applications. It has its own HTTP client. CLI/HTTP router. Fully functional (but slow....) ORM. While project setup and troubleshooting are a breeze, the features that a (professionally) maintained framework offers is unmathed. I'm attempting a rewrite currently, hoping mainly to fix the querybuilder.
