CSS frameworks are great way to get the job done quickly, with no need to worry about the different browsers and their issues.
CSS extermists will tell you how using those frameworks is evil, lame, etc. I think the problem is that web developers feel threatened of loosing their jobs (gigs), since regular Joe Sixpack can now go and create a decent looking website in XHTML/CSS with minimal effort.
Any web designer who is worried that "regular Joe Sixpack can now go and create a decent looking webpage" which looks or functions better than something they would be willing to accept payment for, should probably not be trying to make it as a professional designer.
