I'm all for frameworks, because jQuery can eventually get out of hand. I just see a lack of knowledge on how to structure basic DOM code, so that's going to transfer into other frameworks. I'm more of a fan of someone going the DOM api route, seeing the pitfalls, then move to a framework. Not necessarily in the same project, just overall. It's good to see the pitfalls so you know why you're choosing something.
