It handles templates, mods, languages. While I agree with what you're saying not all frameworks are huge and have tones of over head. I mean just look at some CSS/JS frameworks for example. Like bootstrap is huge (overkill imo for a framework) but amazium imo provides enough to be a great tool while not basically designing the site for you.
I understand that MyBB already does that, but using a third party framework for your code base? From what I hear, things can get a little... Messy.
But, regarding your thoughts on CSS/JS frameworks, while most CSS frameworks are completely unecessary, I do agree that JS libraries/frameworks are good for expediting things. Most CSS frameworks are just a means to be lazy...
Ultimately, in my opinion, all frameworks, libraries, bootstraps, grids, etc. are killing education. People are learning these easier ways to do things, but they aren't learning the base code that creates them... Which is why we have field flooded with people that call themselves designers and front-end developers... When they haven't read a specification in their life. But I do respect your opinion.
