I think I agree with lolly here - popularity is not often a good measure of quality, and in the case of github stars definitely not. It is some measure of usage I guess, so that's something, but frameworks like martini are not a good basis IMO. Relentless promotion, not being used in large projects or thoroughly vetted, is mostly how frameworks make it onto and to the top of this sort of list.
Really not convinced that stars are a good metric for judging web frameworks. Looking at this list they're almost inversely correlated with quality.
