That is because most PHP programmers mainly build web sites, sometimes with
a small administrative back-end, instead of full blown web applications
(i.e. a web version of a desktop application). It is only when you have
written several full-blown web applications that you begin to appreciate the
power of a properly designed and built framework. This removes all that
repetitive work and allows most of the effort to be concentrated on the
business rules, and not the "glue code" which makes everything hang
together.

I have been writing administrative applications for the desktop and the web
for over 20 years, and I have found that using the right framework makes me
much more productive.
