As an example, would you drive a car if you didn't build it from scratch? What if you buy it and it just works? This is the way I feel with frameworks. At first I always wanted to code everything myself but I couldn't achieve anything because it was too much work. Then I started making websites on top of a CMS (I used CMSMadeSimple but anything will do really). It could do everything I wanted and really quickly, and at some point if there was something that I couldn't do in the CMS or there was a bug, I could easily dig in the source code and fix it myself. Just like a car, you can pop the hood and play around with the stuff inside, but since it's already built and working you shouldn't have to play inside it too much.
