Most REAL programmers do not rely on Joomla or Wordpress to create websites. They only use it because that is all they know. They would not know where to begin creating a full site from scrath, they do not know anything about PHP, functions, OOP, or anything real programmers have to deal with on a daily basis. They just modify pre-existing code and add ons/modules/extensions/etc that someone else provided.

If someone boasts about how all they know is Joomla, or Wordpress, or __________ then that's basically them telling you that they aren't a real programmer, and if you are asking for real custom work to be done, you better hope that it's part of the "4100 addons".. otherwise you are up shil creek
I'm not a real programmer so I hire local guys here in my town. But I don't hire programmers that want to write code from scratch, rather they customize modules all day. Joomla saves so much time it's silly. Your 20k job we can do for 5k. Ooof. The power of CMS and at 25% cost!
