I got the idea. When I started in web development was from zero and using windows notepad. Learned the basics and much more, I build what I want and exactly what I want.

My friends started with dreamweaver using the design tool without coding and everything was a mess.

In every project I reinvented the wheel in many forms and making mini-frameworks. using frameworks I learned a lot more complex things, also frameworks doesn't helps, you have to do the work anyway.

Where I work they do a test in the interview, a simple small crud, I was like "that's all?" But a friend only uses frameworks, she didn't know how to make a db connection, a crud or pagination, but she is an expert in many frameworks and she work really well and fast.

So It's important to know the basics and then learn a framework. I love to code from scratch and love frameworks too.
