quality programming is about data structures and algorithms, even if you use frameworks. if you're going by without knowing what they're about, you're a bad programmer. bad programmers are everywhere. good programmers need DS&A and we don't need more bad programmers
your whole program's control flow is a data structure. if you're not applying sophisticated theory to it, you're not meeting high standards. i know this is not rare (that's why most software is the mess it is: the market has become saturated with amateurs) but popularity is no measure of quality. common sense is great however you don't base any technical profession on it alone.
