framework is just too vague.
Having OpenGL in the same category as RubyOnRails is just silly.

There are enough web frameworks to justify another main category.

applications   -- interfaces to the outside (blogging, web search,  
Terminal, Mail? …)
build          -- some sort of build system (Makefile, SCons, …)
file formats   -- data files, not 'markup' (plist, iCalendar, sshd,  
Tabular, …)
framework      -- a framework (OpenGL, Qt, …)
markup         -- markup language (XML, Textile, LaTeX, Markdown,  
tablature, …)
productivity   -- (GTD, GTDAlt, TODO, Remind …)
source code    -- programming language (Ruby, C, …)
scm            -- revision control system (Subversion, CVS, …)
tools          -- generic commands for text manipulation (Math, …)

web            -- basic web related (HTML,XHTML,CSS,JS, …)
web framework  -- extra/more specific web related junk (Rails,  
Django, Prototype, jQuery, …)
