Just need to learn enough to be dangerous... :D
I'm just glad that I hunkered down and learned JS and the DOM from the bottom up, now I can read jQuery/MooTools/$fx()... code and understand each step that it would take to do on a built in function. I love the frameworks, they're great for quick build time, or for beginners, but a solid base on what that framework actually does is invaluable.
