I agree. I think you should start with basic HTML/CSS/JS. Otherwise you will never learn the basics and figure out what/how the frameworks actually work.

Take Bootstrap for example. A beginner starting with frameworks might think: "Cool, if I add class this and class that, I get styling and layout". When in reality you need to know that class name means nothing, it is the CSS in the back that is doing everything.

Start basic, otherwise you will never know how exactly the frameworks work. Plus, you will never be able to write your own frameworks/libraries/code since you didn't learn it!

PS: The answer "just use a framework" = add a whole new file to use 10 lines of code and bloat your website with extra files and slow load times.
