That "limitation" you felt was likely due to your having a grasp of HTML and CSS before you used them. These frameworks are more to learn, make you write as much if not more code, make everything harder to do. The polar opposite of their marketing blurbs. It's outright delusional the praises people sing about them.
I've said it for a long time, the people who CREATED these types of "frameworks" never learned the point of HTML or embraced the separation of concerns. All they do is recreate everything that was wrong with HTML 3.2 by putting classes in the markup to say what things look like. For screen... without even saying that said style is JUST for screen by including media="screen" on their LINK
It's really one of the biggest telltales that you're learning from someone not qualified to make websites. They use style="" and STYLE all over the place, and IF they use an external stylesheet, it's just blindly LINKed in with no media targets. When you see that in all but the rarest of corner cases, you're looking at the pesky 3i of web development. Ignorance, incompetence, and ineptitude.
Only two of those are an insult. Ignorance just means you don't know any better. We can fix ignorance. We ALL start out ignorant. Most everyone remains ignorant of something. There is no shame to ignorance. It's only once you've been told and continue to do it that it becomes a problem.
Sadly -- at least in my line of work -- the latter two are becoming all too commonplace. :(
I'd say that if the framework felt limiting, then you've got a good instinct. Trust your gut on this one.
