I keep away from the damn things. It requires a little more up-front code for some things - but then it's done and you have it.

The "it" you have works everywhere as it dosent's require any particular . . . . framework.

One exception I made for this, many years ago, was accepting .NET. It was annoying, to begin with, but I looked ahead in that it appeared to be a mechanism to unify the hodge-podge of function calls between languages and made sharing objects, such as libraries and .dll's a lot easier. At least that's what I perceived as the plan. That was a long time ago.
