It is not accurate to claim that frameworks automatically make programmers bad.

However, it can be argued that overly relying on frameworks without understanding the underlying principles of programming may have some negative effects. Here are some reasons why this might happen:

Yeah, everyone should just deal with assembly!
To be a bit more serious I agree that it'll be useful to be able to not need a framework, but also that frameworks do provide a great way to not need to duplicate as much effort. But a framework does make the whole project a bit more locked in to specific things it does easily and well.

In general I found the post to be fairly useful to have people read through to be knowledgeable about whether they need a framework and what things they might be giving up by using a specific one.
