Phew that is a pretty strong opinion!
Although I personally am not a fan of the overall style of DQMH none of my problems are with the scripting/wizards or placeholder text. I think any framework that tries to do "a lot" will be complicated... your own personal framework (which you likely find trivial to use) is likely to be a bit weird to others. DQMH is extremely popular for a reason...
To paraphrase the words of a wiser person than I, "please don't yuck someone elses yum"
