Using one of those frameworks yourself as well incurs no penalties.
I think that there are at least some interesting penalties to consider:
* Having to learn additional, and often conceptually different (memory
management models, design patterns, data types, etc.), frameworks
takes time and adds risk (You make more mistakes)
* The more dependencies you have, the more likely is it that you will
be negatively affected in technology transitions (-> Intel, -> GC, ->
64-bit, -> iPhone, etc.).
* Passing data back and forth over API boundaries often requires
conversion of data, something that can be expensive, and at least
typically is tricky
