What do you want in an web framework?

I am working on a new web framework for nodejs called StirFry.js. It’s goal is to be self contained and easier to use.

But I’ve come to a dead end. I know there are more features, it’s just I don’t know which ones are the most useful.

So tell me,
What do you want in a web framework?

github: https://github.com/squishybanana04/stirfry
npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/stirfry

In using the other frameworks what features did you find difficult to use and/or lacking. If you can’t answer that question than you’re in denial regarding the desire to build a framework. That reason has nothing to do with making a *better framework unless you have used the others and can identify their inefficiencies.

I have made it self contained, meaning that you don’t use it as a http server callback, it does all that for you.

I tend to agree with @oddz, the question doesn’t make a lot of sense because all good frameworks are extractions, you can’t design a good one by thinking of a list of features.

For me, Rails is still the most enjoyable framework to work with.
If not that then a lighter framework like Jekyll or Express.
