My take on this sort of thing is that it's possible to become obsessed with a particular framework and insist on using it, becoming an "evangelist" for this sacred new framework.
On the other hand, it's possible to become obsessed with getting something out as quickly as possible with code hacked together from the recesses of Google.

Neither of these extreme approaches is a good idea - if a framework helps then use it while being aware of its limitations and allowing yourself some slack as you probably have a deadline to meet. On the other hand writing poorly thought out code is going to cause you a headache and worse in a few month's time.

I don't think there is a clear boundary of where the emphasis should go as you don't have infinite time, in which to write the perfect code, nor do you have omniscience with which to see every possibility that may not be covered by your code(even code that gets into aircraft is buggy!).

If you can't look back on code that is a year old and think "I would probably not do things that way nowadays" - you are probably not learning from your experience.
