I'm with Karl, frameworks are there to be utilised. Why bother writing something entirely from scratch (even if it only takes 10 minutes) when a simple $('myform').send('result') (for example) would do the trick?

If you don't like the current libraries and/or frameworks out there, then that's your choice but don't put down the fantastic work being done in this field just because something doesn't float your boat or to pretend to yourself that not using these things makes you a better programmer (I'm not accusing anyone).

They're great tools, use them. :)
