I completely agree with this. I think it stands for any language that frameworks create developers who only know the framework, not the language. This was my gripe initially with jQuery - it's responsible for a new generation of developers who know a little JavaScript but know jQuery.

The argument then goes: does a mechanic need to know what a computer diagnostic machine is built or what materials a shifting spanner is made of.

Frameworks create lazy developers, don't get me started on database abstraction layers! ORM's especially in PHP create lazy developers.
