When starting out on any project it could be seen as essential to pick an appropriate framework. I was wondering if you would point out any key questions that should be asked in order to aid the choice. I have looked at numerous sites and there doesn't seem to be any definative questions to ask before a choice is made.

I was wondering if in any of your experiences you have come across any key questions.

I gather one of the first is what are you developing? web app or desktop based

Any key questions would be a great help thanks :)

This is a pretty genral question as i am just looking for genric questions that would be asked before a choice is made
