At my place of work we use Laravel daily. Many of the developers who work there have limited knowledge about how PHP actually works and tend to have a better understanding of Laravel than what's actually going on.
They have trouble when it comes to resolving issues when Laravel does not having something to offer.
I think that it is important to know the base language when using a framework for something. That way you can understanding the processing and find solutions easily when the framework you're using doesn't have a solution built in.
How many of you guys are in the same boat? I've personally been writing raw PHP for at least 8 years.
