I think the mentality that programming has more to do with knowing your framework's features than it does with --- you know, how to program and stuff? That's part of what pisses people off about Rails devs.

The reality is, learning framework features is no different than learning how to mail-merge with your word processor. Sure, it's important. But it has nothing to do with whether someone's going to do a good job coding for you, 2 months in.
