I don't think reinventing the wheel is the right approach. I think careful analysis of bugs and design deficiencies the likes of which you experienced before jumping in and using the framework is the way to do it. This is why I absolutely love seeing hate filled developer rants about technology with deep dive analyses and links to bug trackers. That's how I was saved from learning Ruby on Rails back in 2008 when most developers gushed about how awesome it after reacting to its slick marketing and building a tiny website in 5 minutes.
