I guess my summary of the thread was that a library is built to do one
thing, while a framework is built to tie many libraries together to do
a series of connected things. If you end up using libraries in the
same way all of the time, that's the beginning of a framework.

Neither is better, IMO. They exist at completely different levels in
completely different domains.
