(BTW, You get the same thing with CakePHP.)
 
This is all great until it stops working.
Then your clients need you to fix it and you don't know how.

Or you need to do something that the framework doesn't allow.
Then your clients need you to alter it and you don't know how.

It's always nice to understand the nuts and bolts, even when the framework is doing the heavy lifting for you :)
