That is another con to the use of libraries and frameworks that I have heard mentioned before...that extra layer of abstraction that is introduced. There's definetely something to be said for having inherent knowledge of the underlying code. Thanks Mark!

It feels like most of the time the frameworks add one more layer of abstraction that can muddle your mind when it comes time to make changes.<br /><br />Let's face it, even 're-inventing the wheel' still has a lot of cutting and pasting, but at least the whole while you are understanding <u>exactly</u> what is happening with the style underneath.

Let’s face it, even ‘re-inventing the wheel’ still has a lot of cutting and pasting, but at least the whole while you are understanding exactly what is happening with the style underneath.
