Regardless of the framework or library or whatever you choose, you WILL have to adapt to it to some degree. Whether that be style-wise or just learning the the API. The more power, and flexibility you want, the more you will probably have to learn. These things usually come at the price of learning a very specific way to do something, but once learned, becomes extremely quick to implement and adapt.
