I hope you started a "New" email and didn't just change the subject...
otherwise you've hijacked the thread. I can't tell I keep threading off.

I have my own framework that I wrote from scratch. I still learn other
frameworks to some degree. Clients don't want you writing something from
scratch when you can use something off the shelf. Preferrably you can
hit the ground almost running with anything put before you, and
hopefully they can give you that benefit of the doubt. Do I suggest you
learn all frameworks? No! But do round yourself out and show that you
are flexible. Nobody wants an immovable object in front of them.

Cheers,
Rob.
