engine or framework? wich of them easier to use

[lingo1357]

Hi,

i supposed that xna is an engine but one of my friend say's xna is a frame work not an engine.
now here comes a question for me :

for a c# begginer dealing with xna is easier or dealing withan engine like TV3D or SDL.NET?

Thanks,

I would argue TV3D is easier to use than XNA. I think of it in this kind of way.

DirectX->XNA->TV3D->Game Engine.
